IBM has released a nine-part developer works series on its site for a Windows user to use/implement his skills on a Linux platform.
This is nothing more than a dummies crash course in Linux, where you will get to know ABCD of Linux. And something more. In short "Do not call yourself Linux guru after reading it" but you will no longer be a noob. From IBM:
"What's the kernel? Linux is actually just the kernel; it implements multitasking and multiuser functionality, manages hardware, allocates memory, and enables applications to run. For the beginner, probably the most important thing about the kernel that you need to remember is that odd-numbered kernel versions (in other words, 2.3, 2.5, 2.7) are the experimental, development kernel. Stable, release kernels carry even numbers (in other words, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8). " For a complete reading warp over to the Big Blues site here: IBM. News source: OSNews.com
