I will start this off saying that I'm a 'newbie' to the Linux OS, and I would like to find out about the OS, since I have heard and read a lot about it. I would like to know if it is somewhat like the Microsoft Windows 95/98 (remember, I AM a newbie:P ) OS's, and particularly if I can run an ADSL on the OS (or cable modem). Additionally, I would like to know what advantages Linux has over Windows NT, 98, etc. Thx to those who do bother to read this and sate a newbie's insatiable desire for knowledge:)
