I'm going to be brave and suggest something here. I havent had the b(l)alls to do it myself, but I plan to.
What about getting the Linux from Scratch project and running from that? This way you get to do a full install how you want to and hopefully learn a lot about it on the way. Just a suggestion....probably crap at that.

However, with the good desktop config tools available, it means apps can be installed and configured fast but I do not know what's going on behind the scenes. There are also other aspects of Linux which I may never need to use or have the time to investigate within our company e.g. BSD style printing, configuring raw partitons on disks. So what is the best way to learn what I am missing? Should I just get a big "everything about linux" book or have a look at one of the linux certification books which should contain the most important and common things a sysadmin should know about linux? -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.lug.org.uk http://www.linuxportal.co.uk http://www.linuxjob.co.uk http://www.linuxshop.co.uk -------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************** IMPORTANT NOTE ************************** The above information is confidential to the addressee and may be privileged.
