I've been using windows for quite some time now and i'm getting really bored with it. i have been reading about Linux and i think it is time i made the crossover. i don't want to be an 31337 4ax0r or anything, i just want to learn how to program and use Linux. My friend told me to start with mandrake. I know how to partition and all that but if anyone knows any good links to Linux and programming websites it would be very appreciated
