Hello guys, I am new to this forum and to Linux too.
I am using linux in my office so like to learn it. Though we work on Ubuntu but lets call it Linux.

I reach this forum, learning that it is really cool and up to date.

Its kinda nice to meet experienced people on this form.

Regards & love from India.

You'll find that all Linux distributions are quite similar, and most of what you learn can be transferred. The two main differences are:

1) What graphical desktop you use (e.g.Gnome, KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, Fluxbox....). Each distro has its preferred default desktop with its own look and feel. But practically any desktop can be used on any distro. If you don't like the distro's default desktop, you can install a different one.

2) The package management system (how you update the software). This is distro-specific and you can't change it. Ubuntu belongs to the Debian family, so it uses the apt system. All Debian derivatives do. Red Hat derivatives like Fedora use yum. Many other distros have their own systems.

Have fun!
