[luau] Learning Linux on an Old Version?

[demon_jr808]

I have a Red Hat 5.2 and thought it would be a good place to learn start learning Linux.   However, many people have been telling me to upgrade to a more recent version.   Is there any benefit to learning Linux on an older version?   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
