There are more tips for each topic at the site. Linux is free, but it takes more than an installation disc. Some of the things I had to learn from the start, burning iso, partitioning discs, and black screen command operation and command lines. linux can also run along side windows, and/or run off a live boot CD. I'm still green, so all of the tips I find help. This seems like a great site for anyone curious or interested in Linux
