I've always liked computers and have had a strong interest in them since I was 10. Now I'm interested in learning more about them. A friend of mine recommended this site to me and told me that I can learn lots from this site.

However, I've read a few treads here and have found myself a little confused about some of the topics and of the lingo.

Is there a starting point that I should go to and work from?

I've been told that to understand computers, I have to migrate to this Linux thing and work from there. I've also been told that I have to take on some programming of sorts.

So what should I do?

Thanks! And Hey AntiOnline!
