Choosing a distro and installing 3 lectures 19:32 What is a distro? When you purchase Windows you have basically Windows. There are a couple variations for desktops for home and pro. Then there are a couple versions of server. But basically they are all Windows workstation or Windows server. With Linux there are a myriad of versions, or distributions, of Linux. These are usually called distros for short. This lesson will show you a good way to review different distros, and help decide what to get. The nice thing with Linux is you can get them all for free, and if you don't like one then it is really easy to download a different one to try. Downloading the ISO and making bootable media Once you choose a distro you need to download the software. You typically will download an ISO file, and then either mount that for an install as a virtual machine in a hypervisor, or you need to create bootable media. Doing a basic install of Linux workstation So for this course we are focusing on setting up a Linux workstation. In this lesson we set up Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop. There are a lot of nice options out there, but in my opinion Linux Mint Cinnamon is probably one of the most usable desktop distros. It is especially useful for those switching from Windows, or trying to use both Windows and Linux. The basic format of the desktop is very similar to Windows. So you will find it very comfortable. Installing new software is also very easy. It is an Ubuntu based Linux distro. Choosing a distro and installing 3 lectures 19:32 What is a distro?

Using your Linux workstation 4 lectures 17:15 Using your new Linux workstation Now that you have a functional Linux workstation it is time to take a look around. Adjusting the look of your new workstation One of the fun things with computers is to customize your desktop environment and look. Installing software from the GUI There is a lot of software that gets installed in Linux Mint by default. But I am sure there will be many things you will want to add that are not there by default. There are a fair number of games. There are a surprising number of productivity applications. You may need a photo or video editor. Well there is a lot you can choose from. With Mint there is a great GUI tool for installing new applications. It does not have every application for Linux. But there is a large selection to choose from. Installing software at the command line Sometimes you need to install software from the command line, even on workstations. If you are managing a server then you will almost always be doing command line software installs. We cover how to install software on Ubuntu based systems here using the command line.
