Linux is a powerful,robust operating system,but chances are it's a very different operating system than any you've used before. The dizzying number of choices in distributions alone is enough to make your head spin, but it also means there's something out there that really suits your computing style. There are some things in Linux you just have to work out for yourself -- distributions, applications, screen savers
I chose these tips because they are not distribution-specific, and the majority of new users will at least find a few tips apply to their situation at some point.
