Sorry - I need to put together the lesson indexes again.. feel free to read the tutorials linked up top in beginner/intermediate/advanced though to get a good start!

If you're looking for specific information, you can cat the syslog file and grep for your pattern..

like:

cat /var/log/syslog | grep xxxx

Or more efficiently, just use grep on its own:

grep xxxx /var/log/syslog

Sorry - seeing as this thread was in the recently edited posts, I figured I'd be pedantic and point that out!
I've probably used cat and grep in a few posts here, but there is really no need. Why cat and grep when you can simply grep?!

Hello!
I'm probably not posting in the right place, Sorry for that! You may tell me if so and how and where to post?!? I'm new to the community and beginner with Linux. I want to learn and I want to do so on my second and old laptop. There are so many distributions I don't know what OS I can install? The machine is a HP Mini 210-1100 Laptop with Intel Atom [email protected],66MHz, 2Go of RAM, Hard Drive 250Go. Please direct my in the right place. Sorry for the writting, I'm french!

French-Canadian, by the sound of the accent

I'll give you your own Thread in Getting Started in a minute or two.

When you are reading this, you can either go up and click Forums, to see what we have available or right-click and open in a new tab.

As well as Getting Started, if you scroll down to Front Office, you can see Member Introductions, which is a good spot for new Members to say Hi and tell us a little about themselves, and meet some of "The Gang"

I'll be back with a link once I have you sorted.

BTW - in any Forum where you are allowed to Post, just go near top right-hand side and click icon showing "Post Thread"

 

[wizardfromoz]

New Thread is at

https://www.linux.org/threads/looki...55-1-66mhz-2go-of-ram-hard-drive-250go.24951/

... if you need to find it

Wizard out

 

[OMGdaDPS]

Hmm, at the end of the post is says to jump to "what is Linux?", But that doesn't show up in the directory that I just came from, which was the sidebar>tutorials>beginner. Where is this "what is Linux?"?

 

[wizardfromoz]

G'day @OMGdaDPS and welcome to linux.org

You'll note this Tute is 6 years old, the site has gone through revisions since then, and some of the indexes are yet to be revised (where the Tutes are concerned)

Have a scout around through Forums, and there youcan also find Front Office, where you can also find Forums Assistance and start a Thread there if you need to.

Also note Member Introductions if you want to say Hi and meet a few people.

HTH

Thanks,
I'm new to Linux, and had to try a few releases before landing on Kubuntu 19.04.
The easiest to use...I gotta' get more coffee.
Thanks again.

If you want to get into programming - just install any distro and start learning. It really doesn't matter which distro you use. All of the programming tools you need will be in your chosen distros software repositories. If you install a distro with a large software selection - like anything Debian-based, or Fedora-based, or perhaps even Arch-based - you're pretty much guaranteed to have everything you need available to you. But even distros with a more limited selection of software will still have a wide range of developer tools available.

And if you aren't completely ready to ditch Windows yet, you can always dual-boot with windows. But there is no need to have multiple Linux distros installed.
