@Mods,
Is there any chance of duplicating this post or the LSG link on an additional “sticky” in a suitably prominent position (or in the Wiki) because this post will eventually drift down the LQ pages?

Thanks,

A great guide for starters. Anyone who comes here looking for answers to questions like "Can anyone point me to direction to learn Linux?" or "I am a windows user planning to switch where to start?" should look into it read through the guide.

This is as good a beginner's guide I've ever seen. Many thanks for the link.

thanks for the guide

Anyway will be useful for some newbies.
