How to Get a Linux Desktop

          To Run Linux Commands & Linux Software


  Article Summary:  Learn how to get a Linux desktop - so you can run Linux software - learn Linux commands - how to use Linux. Watch free videos & Learn Linux Now!  

The Linux OS (operating system) is very commonly used as a "platform" (or foundation) on which to run some type of Linux server, such as a web server or file server. And so some people don't realize that Linux can be installed and used with a desktop!

You can run Linux with or without a desktop. And when it's going to be used as some type of Linux server, it's often installed and run without a desktop - as one is not needed on a Linux server.

As a new Linux user getting Linux training, be sure to run Linux with a desktop. Having a Linux desktop makes it easier to run Linux commands and Linux software programs.

3 Ways to Get a Linux Desktop

          - So You Can Easily Run Linux Commands and Run Linux Software


1. Using a Linux Live CD / DVD


If you decide to get Linux as a "live" CD / DVD version (which is a fast and fun way to get Linux running), be sure to get a live CD / DVD version that boots to a Linux desktop.

  There are lots of Free Linux Videos you can watch (by selecting the links below):

 
  When you watch the Ubuntu Linux (General Linux) Training Videos, you can learn how to: install the Linux operating system, install Linux software, work at the Linux desktop - and more!

By watching the "Linux Admin & Commands" videos, you can see how to:

1. run Linux in Windows, 2. get to the Linux command line prompt and 3. properly run a Linux command.

Try these videos out after you've finished reading this!
 

2. Running Linux in Windows as a Virtual Machine


If you download a free Linux virtual machine to run Linux in Windows, be sure to download a version that includes a Linux desktop, as some Linux virtual machines don't include a desktop - and installing a Linux desktop afterwards can be a real hassle and very time-consuming.

  Linux Training Tips:  Check the web site where you get the Linux virtual machine to see if the version you are about to download includes a Linux desktop.  

3. Installing Linux onto a Computer System from CD or DVD


When you install a Linux distribution (version) on a computer system, some automatically install one or more Linux desktops and other's don't. Again, be sure to select one or more Linux desktops during the installation process.

  Linux Training Tips:  Two of the most common Linux desktops are the GNOME desktop and KDE desktop - and sometimes you can install both of them (or others). If you can install more than one desktop, be sure to do so. When you go to log in to Linux after the installation, you can select the desktop you want to use. This will allow you to try out different desktops and see which one(s) you like best!  

Once you get Linux and can boot to a Linux desktop, you can use Linux video tutorials to get easy Linux training and learn how to use Linux step-by-step.
 
  And now I would like to offer you free access to my Linux Commands Training - 7 Step Mini-Course, a 7 Lesson daily mini-course, including the Linux Commands ebook and Linux audio podcasts - showing you how to get started learning how to use Linux commands.
