This Web page is aimed towards aiding those new to the Linux field, but may also be of interest to more experienced Linux users as well.

I am constructing a basic user commands list, which you may find here.

Popular Linux Distributions

For now I'll keep my two cents out as to which Linux distributions are the best, but for now, you can browse through some of the more popular distro Web sites:

Yellow Dog

Software

What good is an operating system without software to utilize it? Below you will find some handy Linux software programs and utilities to get things started.

Desktop Environments

If you like pretty pictures, you'll need a GUI. If you don't have a GUI, all you'll have is command line text entering (very useful, but without pretty pictures). GUI's can be helpful for those used to Microsoft Windows or another GUI based operating system, while command line based systems are generally reserved for more advanced users. If you get a GUI, you can still use command line though.

Gnome

KDE

Where to Get Updates

Keep your Linux box up-to-date with all the newest updates!

Fresh RPMs (this is for Red Hat Linux users)

Chat Clients

Places to go when you need help, or a friend.

Gaim Works like AIM for Windows, only better.

xChat An IRC program.

Other Software

Things to keep you busy.

Open Office An office program suite. Very nice.
