KDD Linux Resources

Welcome to the KDD Linux Tutorial. Most people using this site are KDD members. If you are a KDD member you should be able to use this tutorial to learn how to use Linux at the KDD and how our Linux systems are setup here at the KDD. Even though this tutorial is taylored mainly for the KDD group here at K-State university, it can also be used by non KDD members. I have tried my hardest to make it completely objective giving the facts and several examples so that everyone may benefit.

I won't explain all of the details about the KDD here but one detail is we use Linux and Linux like machines sometimes called *nixes. If you want to know more about the kdd you can go to out home page at The KDD.

To use this tutorial you do not need any prior information about linux what so ever. It is designed to guide you through the process of installing a recent linux distrobution to using Linux on a daily basis. It has sections for advanced use which are mainly for future KDD administrators.

Well it's about time for you to get started. My best advise for you is to not try to eat this tutorial in one bite. It takes time to learn linux and at times it will probably be confusing and frustrating. If this tutorial doesn't lead you to the promised land then take a look at some of the others. Getting a second perspective on a subject usually adds understanding and clarity. So pay attention to posted links about different topics and use them if needed.
