I have been using computers since I was 6, and I knew quite a bit by the time I got around to linux, but I told myself I would preted as if I knew nothing about operating systems and learn linux from the beginning. Now I already knew about how to copy and move files from the command line, but I still read about it and practiced it. Now today I feel like I have a stronger linux foundation than I would have by just saying "oh, I know how to list a directory or copy or move a file, so I'll skip that". It will pay off in the long run if you learn linux as if you have no previous operating system knowledge and start with the basics and work up from there. Once you have the basics, the way I find is the best to learn, is to have a project. Have a goal and try to acheive it. By the time you have your webserver/fileserver/mp3 server/mythtv box..../etc... you will have learned TONS along the way. But the thing you have to remember is that you will get frusturated easily if you do not have a good base of linux knowledge to start with. I hope you have fun learning linux.... it's a high hill to climb, but once you are there it is well worth it. Oh, and once you get to the top off the hill, you will notice the friggin huge mountain behind it ; ) Don't stop learning! : ) On Tue, 30 Nov 2004 13:03:15 -0600, deathfalls <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi guys, > > i'm relatively new to linux, i've basically just messed around a bit > with it before - installing a few different distros, trying to get > hardware working with it, etc. i've fooled with redhat in the past, > but lately have been playing around a bit with ubuntu. > > i was wondering, what are some suggestions for ways to learn more > about linux? any book recommendations or "exercises" i can do? any > advice would be appreciated. > > thanks, > seth > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net > -- Adam Melancon Work: http://www.vermilion.lib.la.us Personal: http://www.melancon.org _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net
