You'll probably just break in the clutch quicker . Don't worry, I think that site was thorough. I learned on my Evo too. It's really forgiving as said before, since it doesn't stall easily.

I had to learn how to drive a stick on my previous car. Just find a big open parking lot, like a school on the weekend so no cars are there. Your left leg will hurt like crazy. The thing that will probably freak you out the most is the rolling backward while on a hill, try using the e-brake until you get used to it. Don't drive on a public road until you're absolutely sure you got it down, otherwise you might get scared and cause an accident. Two days in a parking lot and you'll be set.

Yup, it's easy on the evo. Shifting isn't bad considered to the DSM's. My fiance is learning on the evo and before that, was learning on my prelude. The prelude's clutch is softer, but you'll stall it out easier than the evo.
