Join the club dude. . .i think the politically correct term is "hobbyist".
Hehe, nothin wrosng with that. But i know what your sayin. Ive been messin
with computer since i was 6, been programming about that long, building for a
few years, etc. . .its fun. Linux is neat in that respect. . .lets u play
around with it. if ya really want to learn about the internal workings of
linux, you should read maurice bach's book (Design of the UNIX operating
system) and The Linux Kernel book. . .both great reads.
