Learning to Program

[Alexander Short]

VMWare has a free server that then you can install whichever linux dist you want even from CD and learn the ins and outs of installing and configuring that way.  I'm in disbelief that you can't afford a linux box; as my linux box is a p3-700 that I was given 7 yrs ago from my last workplace.  A similar box could probably be found for under $50.  The other method is sign up for cheap webhosting that includes terminal access.

Great resource, I am new to programming and I currently do not have the money to get a Linux box, any suggestions on how I can still learn Linux, are there any resources that I can use to simulate Linux, I currently use cygwin is that a good place to start or are there other resources available
As well, can someone recommend good online Linux tutorials. Thanks
