In recent times, is back in the foreground on GNU / Linux, in both mobile and desktop. In this guide we will see how to take the first steps into the world of Penguin, starting from the distribution of choice for a newbie: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
When in 1991 the young Finnish student Linus Torvalds, dissatisfied with the Minix operating system (UNIX-like operating system for teaching), and its poor support architecture i386, published the very first 0.01 version of the Linux kernel on the web for the purpose hobby he never would have imagined that, little by little, her child would become.
Over the years, Linux has evolved steadily and, thanks to the very important contribution made by the GNU Foundation, founded by Richard Stallman for the production of free software, which has provided all the necessary tools for creation of a real operating system (set of compilers, debuggers, text editors, graphical environment, etc..), it has become more and more an important presence in the world of world.
Thanks to the collaboration between the community and the GNU Linux Foundation was born so GNU / Linux (commonly referred to simply as Linux, the GNU same despite claiming strongly marked complete), the family of operating systems produced precisely the union of the kernel Linux, various GNU tools (gcc, glib, GNOME, etc..) and the X.org X server, which is necessary for the creation of a unique modern and functional.
From here they were born then numerous variants, called distributions, which offer different configurations of Linux suitable for every need (from the most fundamentalist and complex as Arch Linux and Slackware up to the most simple to use as Fedora and Ubuntu).
Many companies have invested and still invest in the Linux Foundation, the company that manages the development of Linux driven by Torvalds himself, including IBM (which uses only the Penguin on their mainframes and servers), HP, Intel, Google, Samsung, Lenovo, Valve, opening the way to new frontiers, including for example, that the revolution of mobile telephony.
Oh yes, because one of the operating systems of choice for smartphones, Google Android, been based precisely on the Linux kernel and various GNU tools, from which it inherits the great strength derived from UNIX and large capacity expansion and customizability.
Other successful system is definitely Google Chrome OS, real GNU / Linux distribution ever Big G, which is depopulated mainly in the United States thanks to the spread of Cromebook.
Not to mention Red Hat, a company very important in the field of servers and mainframes based on his own fortune on the Penguin by deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Mozilla, which with the open source browser Firefox Mobile OS and Linux Firefox OS, forthcoming, is increasingly confirmed as one of the most important companies in the IT sector.
Lately, also the Penguin is launching a new era in the gaming industry, both in the console (remember, for example Ouya and NVIDIA Project Shield, both based on Android) and within the PC, thanks to the very important investment that Valve, giant sector, is carrying out projects on Linux with Steam and Steam for Linux Box, which will bring more and more manufacturers of video games on this platform.
Precisely for this reason many new users are entering the world of Penguin, and intrigued by the news coming from a completely free system and pliable to his will, but often get stuck in the face of diversity that it has over Windows.
This guide will explain some basics and guide you step by step installation and configuration of your first distro GNU / Linux, and for this we will choose the most suitable for new users: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS version with support for long term (4 years to be precise) of the popular distro from Canonical, another leader in the field of open source.
