I want to start using Linux but I am not sure how to get started. I just want to set it up a server for my mvies and such. Maybe I am starting too big. I don’t know. I use to think I was moderately good at computers but I feel left behind. Just looking fro advice on my first build.

    I think you’re starting too big, to use your phrase.

    Get used to the basics first: what’s different, what’s the same. They all have GUIs (KDE, GNOME).

    Run a live USB version from a usb stick to get used to it until you have the confidence to install it on an old pc.

    I started by installing a VoIP product into a VM on Windows 2000, but there are better ways now.
