There is no magic in learning Unix or its cousin Linux. Spend enough time with our tutorials and you may end up a Linux wizard.
Linux 4 Windows Tutorials Mini Home Page
This page introduces our tutorials running on Damn Small Linux. If you can spare 50 Megabytes (not 50 Gigabytes, or for that matter 50 Kilobytes) you can run a great version of Linux with lots and lots of goodies on your Windows computer whether state of the art or not. You may even dust off a Windows 98 computer and use it to learn Linux instead of letting it rot in a landfill. The FAQ section answers many of your questions and sets some of our ground rules, such as not providing technical support. Next comes the clickable list of our tutorials, followed by a short description of each tutorial so that you can get a better idea of the tutorials before making your selection. (We know this sounds a bit wierd when there is only one or a very few tutorials but didn't see why you should have to wait for us to get several tutorials ready before you could start.) As the well known computer phrase goes: Real Soon Now!
The first list comes without any explanation. The second list repeats the choices with a short explanation to help you make your selection.
