Linux

[Andrew Schultz]

Just keep in mind you do need to know the basics of installing an OS 
before u hop into this.  Make sure you understand partitioning and

linux drive properly. id check it out.  it applies to any distro.

have the where with all's to hit the floor running as an Sys Admin or 
Code Worrier. So thanks for sharing anyways.
