Learning Linux

[Sean Edwards]

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/
