In this episode, I go through a short list of terms that are convenient to understand when you want to talk about, or better yet, become familiar with so you can use, a Linux distribution.

Dispelling the myths about how Linux has no GUI or an unfriendly one.

I've been asked this question many times - why do you use Linux at home?  In this episode I'll talk about what drew me to Linux, and it is all in terms that anyone today, even technophobes, can follow with ease.  As always, you can email me with questions or constructive feedback at [email protected].

In this episode, I go through a description of what Linux is, a brief history of Linux, what Linux can do for you and why not to get Linux.

I describe operating systems and kernels, distributions and interfaces and three reasons not to use Linux depending on your needs.

I give short previews of potential future episodes - how to use the terminal or command line interface and how powerful it is, differences between various graphical user interfaces (GUIs), Linux distros compared to other OSes and each other, and more.
