Here's a tutorial on installing Linux, geared for beginners, using an interesting choice for distribution...Kanotix.
This is the first installment in a series that will take you through the Linux desktop environment from the beginning.
This is the concept... start the series off where just about every new Linux user begins their experience, by installing a Linux desktop. From here, each segment will build upon one another, which is basically how we all learn anyway.
After installing the operating system, we can move on to individual desktop applications and tips on managing your Linux system. In this way, we can learn and build your Linux desktop environment together.
I've been using Linux for the past two and a half years. My Linux adventures began with the installation of Mandrake 8.2. Since then, I've tried many distributions (Red Hat, Slackware, Yoper, Libranet, Knoppix, and Mepis to name a few). For quite a while, I found ALT Linux to serve our purposes very well.
Recently, however, I've found Kanotix (a distribution based on Knoppix) to be a very nice distribution and performs very well on our systems. More importantly, it is built from Debian, a flavour of Linux that I've become very comfortable working with. I see a lot of potential in this distribution and I think we'll be sticking with it for quite some time.
So, if you'd like to follow along with this series, this is the distribution I suggest you download and install. Everything that I cover in future episodes will be based on my Kanotix desktop, so if you are a beginner, you may find it helpful to build on the same foundations. Full tutorial from Canadian Content
