Best way to learn Linux...
So I got a laptop (newer'ish i3 4gb etc) and decided I wanted to learn Linux. I threw in a 128gb SSD and loaded Ubuntu 11.4 64-bit. Everything installed fine so I assume it's working okay. My first question, am I doing it right? Is this the best way to learn Linux or would you recommend reading up on it first? Also, I tried to do an SSD optimization (link to guide) and I had a lot of trouble figuring out exactly how do do it.
Any one wanna help a Linux newb with any tips? Did I pick the right distro to learn or is there something easier?
