How does a novice begin with Linux -
Burn, test drive, and used a live CD distribution for a minimum of
a
month and learn all you can about it. Then try some others. Repeat
as
necessary until you find a distro worthy of installing.
Simply start with one distro and after a while install two other
distros to the same machine, if the chosen distro shouldn't fit to
your
needs.
Advising a novice at Linux to build and configure a multi-boot,
multi-OS machine?
Multi boots are usually made by beginners to keep windows aside linux,
which never works, because people will always tend to use the system
they know the most and/or on which they can do the most things. And for
beginners, that system is clearly not a linux based OS, but Windows. And
if examples are needed: games, CAO, and even simple drawing are easier
and less restricted on Windows.
So, I agree with you, advising them to do a multi-boot is not the right
thing to do.
/But/ it was never said in previous message. Plus, linux beginners are
not necessarily ignorants of computer sciences. I was not. And finally,
since Grub is the most commonly installed boot loader, setting up a
multi-boot do not imply to configure anything. At least, with Debian, it
is made automatically.
