Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there a arch linux installation guide that teaches all aspects of the system during the guided installation? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I want to learn Linux and I read that installing Arch Linux is a great way to do this. But all guides I've found so far only guide you through the steps without much explanation of what it is you are doing during the installation.

Is there a guide that is more "guided" for lack of a better word? One that teaches me what I'm doing and why I'm doing it? I could of course google every single command and step during the installation but I think it would be easier to understand if there would be a guide including all this.

Type "archinstall" in the installation environment, you don't need to setup arch yourself...
