Linux - Open Source White Papers
Living with Linux - part 2
Overview Most people who buy a Linux CD-ROM plan to install the software on a machine that is already running Windows or Mac OS, and want to keep working with their old programs; Red Hat Linux includes a program called "LILO" for "Linux Loader" that lets such users switch between operating systems.When Linux boots up, it sprays dozens of cryptic messages on the monitor, informing the user precisely what is happening inside the computer.At the same time, the line of boot-up messages stuttering down the monitor makes clear that this freedom comes at a price -- a learning curve that can be long and frustrating.
