    Sure, you dont know what’s important, how things work when you start out! But when you randomly explore, you’re hit with blocks and in order to pass it you have to analyze, examine it. In the process, you better develop your intuition as you yourself explore it and understand it to the core.

    Suppose, your end destination is some place, there is a forest before the place you need to reach. If you know the path(when someone teaches you), you can reach the destination effectively and quickly. But if you explore it yourself, it may take some time but you get to know the forest when you analyze and careful enough that you are not be lost.

    I think, the goal that is learning linux has to do with everything that makes the linux, but it is a long and boring process, when one learns without knowing the basics or the philosophy behind it. I think that, I better get to know about forest(basics of linux) and then explore randomly when you know what you’re doing.

    I find a website, linuxjourney.com. Let me try and understand the basics of linux.

    ‘read and then do’? How is it better than ‘learn while you do’? It may save you some time when you read and then do, but I think you can learn more when you do and also learn in the process? Correct me, If I’m wrong. Are there any books or resources which are available for free of cost?

    Understanding is more important than installation! So, arch is a starting point and then gentoo for a little advanced user? Yes, the community and the philosophy behind the GNU/Linux made it a great thing to explore! As it have made me switch from windows to GNU/Linux!

    To make the learning process much more enjoyable, I’am going to try one of the OS’es either arch or gentoo. Which one will best for as a beginner? As gentoo has much more wiki than arch, which one will best suit for beginners(like me) to trying to understand things? Are there some resources, where I can learn some very basic stuff like about package manager, linux kernel, etc(if there, please share it here) and then it would be good if I go onto the installation and then onto the LFS thing. Learning linux would be a fantastic journey!

    Hey, I’ve tried some distros(fedora, ubuntu, vanilla…), I think it would be better If I learn. What I mean by learn is about understanding the concepts and, as I’ve been using fedora. I didnt really learn how cd, ls(although I use it a lot) works. So, I think learning through LFS is good and interesting. Do you think that it would be good if I learn from installing gentoo and arch, then go onto LFS

    Hey, I will try to ubderstand LFS and build it myself. If it’s much harder than I expected it to be, i will install gentoo. What about arch? Why install gentoo instead of arch? The installation process of gentoo will teach me about linux, the same could be said about arch?
