At a recent Seminar organised by MAIT in delhi, I met a boy Arjun. Arjun is a 8th Standard student at Naval Public School where he administers the Linux system. When I asked him why he uses Linux he said, because he finds Windows difficult. He says its a mind set problem, depending on what you use first, you find the other thing difficult.
What Arjun said is contrary to what people say that Linux is difficult to learn. I feel its the resistance to change, which makes things difficult and not the application. If you are willing to spend time learning something better, then you wont find it difficult. At the end of it, you would also find it worthwhile. Don’t you spend time learning new things when a new version of Windows is released?
I am interested in Linux and was wondering how much I can learn on my own (at home) and at which point an instructor or course would be better for me. I have some computer experience , but mostly at the level of an average computer/internet user. Thanks for your time in advance
