First do more research, then give it a try. Start small, use what you already have before buying new
stuff for mining.

CPU mining is trivial and every PC has a CPU. If you already have a GPU you're all set to try that too.
The best way to learn is to work your way through the process trying to solve your own problems
along the way.

When you really get stuck ask a question that shows you made a good effort and provide all relevant
info in the post: your setup, command line options, log output, etc.

Good luck.

I am new to mining and rather new to cryptocurrencies. I have an idea to add some heat to the basement of our house as well as learn more about the cryptocurrency world, and therefore I am considering to start hobby mining. I would like some pointers from you experienced people.

I figure some kind of hassle-free solution that is rather easy to set up an maintain will suit my requiremnts. I have red that a GPU rig might be a good option for newcomers, and in many cases quite a few currencies can be mined with a GPU rig.

I certainly prefer Linux before Windows, and I don't want to be locked in with a single currency.

Any pointers?
