Beginning Linux Programing, that helped me a lot and a czech book 333 tipu a triku pro Linux (333 tips and tricks for Linux).That was great when I tried to start to work in the command line.

Esential System Administration - Aileen Frisch DNS and Bind - Cricket Liu Software Portability with Make - the new one and the older Make book. Mastering Regular Expressions Building Secure Servers with Linux - all O'Reilly books. Ed Krol's Whole Internet Guide now seems wonderfully dated and reminds me what a long strange trip it's been for me with Linux since about 1995. Classic Shell Scripting seems good: Martin Krafft's Debian System book has taught me a whole lot even after 10 or more years with Debian. The most useful UNIX learning experience I've had [apart from the time when I managed to nuke most of /usr and had to unpack .debs by hand for a day using tar cpio and ar till the system was back together :( ] was building GCC 3.4 and 4.0 on Solaris - suddenly discovering that you needed to build sed, tar, make, binutils in order to build GCC and then bootstrapping GCC itself and rebuilding its toolchain with itself. It taught a lot about dependencies and precisely _why_ packaging and policy and standards were important. Possibly good for you, in the same way that boarding school discipline, open windows in the winter, cold soggy toast for breakfast and cold showers are good for you, but ideally GCC compilation on Solaris should be a one time only experience :) To echo someone else, earlier this week: Ancora imparo - I'm still learning :) Andy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
