 Prior to this I had no practical linux experience and this guide is written for other users with no practical experience. I found the other information on the wiki either hard to find or over my head due to my inexperience. This guide was written for complete beginners, it incorporates information from almost all the other guides on this wiki, so credit where credit is due.
