There has been a lot of misinformation about Linux spewing around, claiming that you have to use console / command line / text / whatever commands for installation, configuration and administration of a Linux system.

All you have to do is plug it into the computer, or insert the optical disk in the drive, and a window similar to the one shown at right will come up. It could be a US flash drive, a CD/DVD (if your computer has an optical disk drive), a camera memory card, or whatever.
