Never used Linux so can't really comment but still it could be useful to some here...

Switching to Linux can be very daunting, most seasoned Linux users experienced that first hand. After all, at some point they were also “noobs”. However, the Linux community has excelled in making the switch for beginners as easy as possible by providing guides, howtos, tweaks, and general advocacy articles. When I first made the switch 3 years ago, I found the community welcoming me with open hands on forums, IRC channels, and E-mail, I was surprised how helpful these penguins were!

For this, I feel obliged to give back to the community that has always been there for me. To pass down the torch to newer Linux generations. Over here I compiled a list of 7 habits that I wish someone told me when I started out. I believe that getting into these habits will make the Linux experience more secure, convenient, educational, and ultimately more enjoyable.

Atleast in the distro I have used till date

You can only gain Root priviledge for some times

^That is because no sane kernel in the world ever has that enabled. It is a great way for a non-admin user to ruin stuff.

oh ya, those "magic key" sequences are probably not enabled in something like ubuntu... might be in fedora... got to try it some time...
