My first Linux install, I downloaded some tutorial from somewhere, can't remember where (maybe someone on IRC shared it ๐Ÿค”... IDK, I can't remember), and this is litelarly what it said ๐Ÿ˜‚.

You have to be prepared when installing Linux. Take a week or two off work or school and make sure you have the following things at your disposal.

  • Find as many bootable floppy's and as many different dostro CDs as possible. Why? The boot floppy from Debian might work with Suse, but not the Debian CD.

  • Make sure you have at least two CD drives and floppy drives at your disposal. The more, the better. Why? You'll probably burn out the first ones while trying to figure out which boot floppy goes with which distro.

  • Have coffee at your disposal all the time. You're at the bottom of the pot? Pour that in your mug and put a new one on the kettle.

  • Stock up on as many different kinds of alcohol you can find, preferably strong stuff. Trust me, you'll need it.

Typical of many online tutorials, full of typos and errors.

That's because they were probably drunk when writing the tutorial ๐Ÿ˜‚.
