An Intel Edison with the Breakout board - (get here): I'd recommend you buy the Breakout Board, even though its huge and not cheap. You really cant do anything with
just a plain old Edison. Not even blink an LED. So this Breakout Board is important. Moreover, it is compatible with Arduino shields (yay! for Arduino users).
A Seeed Studio Grove Starter kit - (get here): This I'd recommend especially to beginners, as its really easy to use. No complex circuits involved; just plug n play!
A good computer: Very important. You're Edison may initially drive you crazy with its technical stuff, so a computer with good performance should compensate for that.
So let's begin!
NOTE: Prepare to sit at the computer for a good hour or two. Maybe more. You have no idea of what's ahead of you...
Step 1: Glossary...
Yes, there are so many odd technical terms, that it looks like another language altogether. Therefore it deserves a glossary section:
Linux: This is an Operating System (OS), that a computer uses to interact with users like us. Windows is an operating system too. So is Android.
Developement board: A development board is a printed circuit board with circuitry and hardware designed to facilitate experimentation with electronics. The Arduino is a
development board. So is the Edison (but 1000x times more powerful).
Image: In this context, "Image" refers to the OS (operating system). So when someone says "Linux Image", they mean the Linux OS (nothing to do with pictures).
Flashing: This means loading the OS onto a computer. Like, when the Edison is blank, you have to put an OS onto it. Hence you have to "flash" your Edison.
Corrupted: Nothing to do with politicians. Here, simply, a corrupted file means that the file has errors that make it unable for someone to read the file, or retrieve the
data from the file. It usually is a bad thing. More on it here.
Driver: In the context of computers, a driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices. Without drivers, the hardware you connect
to your computerfor example, a video card or a printerwon't work properly.
This may clear some doubts for you. Now let's get started with the Edison!

Image Notes
1. Push it in firmly... But don't press the metal part!
Image Notes
1. Screw in the nuts, with your hand. They dont need to be tight...

It'll ask for a comfirmation. Type "Y" and it will remove all files from the Edison.
6. Now type

I don't think there's any appropriate contests for this i'ble. The best you could do is share and add constructive criticism! ;)
