Blindly spending money is a good way to get burned. >I've heard good things about Linux, should I get it? Again, it depends on your usage, but since you're asking it, consider setting up dual boot since it's easy and gives you both worlds to dick around in. Use Linux when you want to dick around, fall back on Windows when you need to get non-Loonix things done. >And I've heard good things about building my own computer, should I do that? Yes, it's easy and makes you learn about computers. You save money too. >Also, is there a book I can read, preferably a .pdf, about how to start understanding computer hardware and software? Just go browse the smorgasbord of resources, there's a metric assload of constantly updated resources. Logical Increments was created for people like you, while it's not 110% accurate on the small details, the underlying advice is solid and it outright encourages you to do your own research. |
