Scripts are files that contain shell commands which may be short or can be very complex.
Scripts just make it easier because you can invoke one command to run all of the commands in the script.
Here instead of using 8 separate commands you can use one command to execute all of them.

About PolishLinux.org...
PolishLinux.org website was created in July 2006 as an English version of JakiLinux.org. The main focus of the website was to provide decent information about
choosing the right Linux/BSD distributions by intriducing distro reviews, distro chooser and distro comparison tables. Read more about the history of PolishLinux.org.
Currently, the vortal is focusing more and more on original articles targetted at UNIX newcomers. The articles are usually written by Polish authors and our main goal is
to help you polish your GNU/Linux by using the tips and tricks we provide. This strange combination made us call the vortal PolishLinux which introduced a lot of confusion among the readers,
but oh well, we can live with that.

If you are a windows user and want to try linux, you can download and iso image Click hereto see what an iso image is. Then you can burn a cd and try it. Click here to learn about burning a cd. You can just insert the cd into your computer, reboot, and your computer will load the live cd, and you will be running linux without installing it, or changing anything on your computer. When you are done, just reboot, remove the cd and you will be back in windows. You can do this as many times as you want, for as long as you want. If you have DSL or a cable modem, the live cd will even find your connection for you 'in most cases' and you can browse the internet from the live cd.

Linux Distributions...
Distrowatch
Your next step woulld be to choose a linux distrubution.
What is a linux distrubution, you might ask?
Well, I can say that it is like a Ford or a Chevy, they are cars and they
get you where you want to go, it's up to you to make a choice.
A good place to go to learn about Linux Distributions would be Distrowatch.
Distribution Lists
LWN Distributions List
The LWN.net Linux Distribution List
You have found the LWN.net Linux Distributions List. LWN has been tracking Linux distributions since 1999. Early versions of the list consisted of links
on the side bars of the weekly Distribution page. By 2001 the list had grown to fill both sidebars of the weekly page, often trailing far below any actual mid-page content.
So the list was moved to a flat file and released on October 11, 2001.
Welcome to ibiblio's
Linux Distribution homepage! This page lists linux distributions that we host or mirror, it is not an exhaustive list.
To access a distribution, simply click on its title. Please find a link to the distribution's homepage beneath each description.
Linux Distros
Well since I mentioned Linux Distros, here is a list of some of the most popular ones.
What is Slackware Linux?
The Official Release of Slackware Linux by Patrick Volkerding is an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities.
Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Slackware brings the best of all worlds to the table.
Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX®-like Linux operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of users and developers around the world.
Slackware Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp,
and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of development tools, editors,
and current libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software.
Also see the DistroWatch page on Slackware for more information.
openSuse
is a free and Linux-based operating system for your PC, Laptop or Server. You can surf the web, manage your e-mails and photos,
do office work, play videos or music and have a lot of fun!
- Get it: Download openSUSE or find additional software.
- Discover it: Learn more about openSUSE with tutorials, documentation, and more!
- Create it: Build packages for all major Linux distributions with the Build Service.
See the DistroWatch page for more information about openSuse
Debian
is a free operating system (OS) for your computer.
An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.
Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system),
but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 18733 packages,
precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Step-by-Step Guide and Tutorial Pages.
Have an old PC gathering dust? Use it for a Linux server! Linux runs great on older hardware giving it new
life and it's easy to do. Just follow along with our guide pages and we'll walk you through installing the
Debian Linux OS and setting up a network with the most common types of Internet and LAN servers all on one
system. You'll learn some things about operating systems, networking, and the Internet in the process,
and you may just have some fun along the way. Even if you have never worked with Linux before, you'll be able
to use our guide pages to go from zero to "sysadmin" in no time, as well as get a solid start in the knowledge
needed for the Linux+ certification.
There are also Debian based distros:
Why Simply Mepis 7.0 Linux?
- SimplyMEPIS just works! It is pre-configured for simplicity and ease of use, and you will be productive in a matter of minutes, even if this is your first try with Linux
- SimplyMEPIS features unique hardware detection and configuration superior to any other Linux versions
- SimplyMEPIS allows you to test and try without installation to see if it suits you and your needs
- SimplyMEPIS is well supported by an excellent Community Forum, Community Wiki, and User's Manual.
What is DSL?
Damn Small Linux is a very versatile 50MB mini desktop oriented Linux distribution.
Damn Small is small enough and smart enough to do the following things:
- Boot from a business card CD as a live linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (that's right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram
- Run fully in RAM with as little as 128MB (you will be amazed at how fast your computer can be!)
- Modularly grow -- DSL is highly extendable without the need to customize.
KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on CD or DVD, consisting of a representative collection of GNU/Linux software,
automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals.
KNOPPIX can be used as a productive Linux system for the desktop, educational CD, rescue system, or adapted and used as a platform
for commercial software product demos. It is not necessary to install anything on a hard disk. Due to on-the-fly decompression,
the CD can have up to 2 GB of executable software installed on it (over 8GB on the DVD "Maxi" edition).
