In today's society, Linux use is too wide. Now on linux only used in servers and embedded Linux distributions are numerous, the proportion of 1% of the desktop, it does not mean doing worse than linux windows and mac, in fact, on the desktop three different, now ubuntu, centos and other releases on with a very convenient.
Before learning Linux, we should ask ourselves a few questions: Why do we want to learn Linux? Linux can bring us any value? How to learn linux? What knowledge we have to grasp it? To learn how long? Before we learn, we must first find out the answers to these questions, we can not just learn to see others follow suit, we went to school, people say what is what. Only thoroughly understand these issues, we learn it will not feel boring, would not power.
Some students said he wanted to learn Linux, ask me how to learn, I asked: Why learning, some say that they can learn from others, want to play; some say good Linux employment, and so on. Would like to ask the original purpose of learning what Linux is, what kind of learning process, now what extent, there is the process of learning Linux should look like.
Well, here I am by one as you answer these puzzles, hoping to help some students as soon as possible to learn Linux.
Why do we want to learn Linux?
linux treatment can give you a good job, can also give you an opportunity to participate in open source software written in the programming experts learn from each other, in addition to programming easier than windows.
Linux can bring us any value?
Linux can give us a lot of emerging technologies, technical value is not how superb this technology, but the technology itself bring any value to us, so many times we learn a skill, not blind to learn is to use this technology, know the technology usage scenarios, we know this technology brings convenience, we decided to further study.
How to learn linux?

In the operation and maintenance work, a shell script is essential for complex repetitive tasks, can help us better manage maintenance server by writing shell scripts. Of course, the shell script can also make the rest of our work easier. "Linux in respect of such a study," This book is also arranged the chapters devoted to shell programming knowledge. I personally think that for entry is most appropriate. You can see more.
3. As mentioned above, the maximum use of Linux is the server space, so you then have to learn is to learn to set up a server to configure, just mention that the book also provides a lot of knowledge about the server set up after a few chapters. It includes apache, set up and configure the ftp, dhcp, squid, samba and other servers, write very detailed.

4. Use of a skilled editor.
Such as VIM, gedit, etc. under the graphical interface of the command-line editor.
5. shell programming.
Shell scripting language in Linux, complex repetitive tasks, we can all use the shell to help us.
7. server set up and configure
This is part of a little difficulty, we need to have enough patience and perseverance perseverance, but when we are completing these, we have basically Linux can be regarded as a skilled operation.
To learn how long?
The above is a learning orientation and route of Linux for Linux is a learning process needs to insist, perhaps through self-study or training, 3-6 months can learn the basics, but focuses on practical, in-depth thinking and continuous exploration you will find Linux more beauty!
