Linux

This page is all about Linux.

Here are some specific notes I've made on configuring or using Linux.

• Setting up a web server with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn Desktop Edition

Ubuntu Linux sounds like the best distribution for my needs. It is easy to use, based on Debian, and the desktop version comes with GNOME. An alternative version called Kubuntu comes with KDE instead of GNOME. Other variations include Xubuntu and Fluxbuntu.
