Learn Linux Chapter 06 of 40

Series of videos that walk you through what Linux is, how to get it, try it out in Live CD mode, install it as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, and how to use it, including how to set up the most common applications such as email and instant messaging.

The benefit of this demonstration video is that it is a real world recording that takes you through all the steps, so you can later follow along to try out Linux yourself as a Live CD. If you decide you want to install Linux as a dual-boot operating system with Windows, (meaning when your computer starts, you are presented with a menu choice to run Linux or Windows) you are shown how to install Linux.

Linux was installed for free using the steps performed in this video. Linux is all about choice, and the best way to decide if Linux is right for you, is to try it out.

What a joke. That was windows instalsheild that installed that programme for him. Linux is totally different. This video is 'learn linux' and he is showing us on windows??? I'm not going to bother watching the next 34 videos, thats for sure!!

This is not a series of videos that demonstrate how to use Linux on a Linux pre-installed pc. This is a series of videos that help a windows user learn how to get, try, install, and use Linux.

wget is the best option.

A browser is sufficient as most modern browsers support ftp; unless you are still on dial-up - in which case a download manager can sometimes be helpful. There is no need to install an FTP client just to download a distro. If you really need ftp, you should be using sftp/scp instead.

Oh well. You doesn't get the whole purpose of this video series. Nevermind.
