In the not too distant future, date unknown - but soon(ish), I am going to do another anchor article.
This article will be, LinuxTips's Tips For Linux Newbies - or some similar title. I already have quite a few tips for newbies, but I'd really like to get a bunch of tips together and then write the article with a collection of tips offered by the folks here.
I've got the obvious tips covered, such as starting with an easier to use distro to not running random commands you find online without knowing what these commands are going to do. I have an article about backing up that's in the works, but this will of course mention keeping good backups.
So, what tips would you offer newbies? If you're a newbie, what tips have you found helpful?
EDIT: Let me know if you want to be credited with your suggestions. If you have a site and want it linked to your name, your profile, or whatever...
