When I first started with Linux in 1994, the only documentation available was a readme file. And before I became proficient with the fips utility, I did trash a few 20MB and 40MB hard drives. Kernel compile time on a 386SX was measured in DAYS and getting a serial modem to work involved duct tape, bailing wire and a rubber chicken!
When it was easy to hack on to the internet (mostly human engineering a phone number userid and password from a university), I stumbled upon The Linux Documentation Project. For a noob, there is still a lot of good information therel. Some if it is a little dated, but sit down at that site with some coffee and read. A whole world of understanding will open up to you: http://tldp.org/ -=Sean Edwards=- -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
