Why build a Linux box?
Can you do it yourself, without someone showing you how?
Does it cost me anything?
Answers
- 1: Several. Because you can. Yes, it is free. Good thing to use an old computer for. Setup up some servers & make your own Web services.
- 2: Yes. However, you have to train yourself. Take time to read books. Go to the lilbrary. Learn technology and take it easy. It is a learning experience. Magic won't happen in 3 hours, though sometimes it does.
- 3: Nope, except for buying some blank CDs. Yes, again, it is free.
- Want to skip all this? Put in a live-CD (or live-DVD) distro. Thank You Knoppix
= Yes, I even have installed two machines from Knoppix images. It ran pretty darn well and had tons of packages installed, too.
