Hey there,i am glad to be one the forums and on my decision too that i will be learning Linux.
I came from a Windows Background and i am a big "0" at Linux.
Please guide me through my Questions.
1.I want to learn Linux and currently i am zero at it,i want to Master Linux.
2.Does Linux runs games like Spiderman:Shattered dimensions and stuff like that?
3.I installed Fedora 15 Today,should i continue installing/testing Linux via Virtual box/Vmware/Virtual PC or i should physically install and test on my Hard disk and test?

Please help a newbie guys,please i really want to learn Linux.

Hello and welcome!

1) You can check the link in my signature for lots of good information on getting started with Linux, and using it.
2) Some games are native to Linux and others are not. Check the Wine Apps Database to see what Windows games may or may not work.
3) That's a matter of personal preference, depending also on what you want to do with your computer.

Have fun with Linux and good luck to you with it.

Should i prepare for Linux+ Certification?
And also you didn't responded to my all 3 questions very well,2nd question was very well answered.
However 1st and 3rd answer didn't helped me.
It's a matter of personal Preference i accept,but when i was Taught in my class one day my Teacher told me that there is difference in Virtual and Physical Installation,difference of Features and much more,is it True?

My take on your questions. 1) Try the book Running linux available here Running Linux, Fourth Edition - O'Reilly Media
2) There are many linux native games which run fine, but if you want to run a specific game which is a windows game like call duty, world of warcraft, etc, you would have to use wine. Wine works with some titles and not with others, so it is try and see, or go to the wine website to see which games are reported as working. 3) I have only ever run linux as a hd install, so can't comment on vm.
