KEY CONCEPTS
Installing Linux
Having your own Linux system offers a great learning opportunity and gives you access to a large library of software.
Steps in the installation process:
- Select a Linux Distribution and download a Linux Distribution Install ISO File to your Computer
(Note: The OS requires compatible hardware) - Burn an Linux Distribution CD/DVD, or USB, or use downloaded file when creating a virtual machine
- Once booted, the installation process transfers the live image to a disk (or flash memory) and configures the system
- For most distributions the installation involves a guided graphical environment and it is easy to accomplish
A Linux distribution (often abbreviated as distro) is an operating system made from a software collection that is based upon the Linux kernel and, often, a package management system. Linux users usually obtain their operating system by downloading one of the Linux distributions, which are available for a wide variety of systems ranging from embedded devices (for example, OpenWrt) and personal computers (for example, Linux Mint) to powerful supercomputers (for example, Rocks Cluster Distribution).
