You are silly sir, I am 43 years old and want to be able to understand these install scripts that I run into all the time when installing new packages. Plus it is challenging :blink: but I don't think there's one called "Using Perl". Possibly you mean "Learning Perl"? Just checked its programming perl 3rd edtition and I also have learning perl 2nd edition. The programming perl is a good read, easy to follow. The other title I find hard to follow. Ps I belong to the Blackhat Community. I am studying the Security+. Blackhater in my respect is a whiteahat . Check it out: http://www.blackhat.com/

Okay will google, I also joined the above Newsgroup.

This looks interesting from your showtopic above: One good source of info and resources is the usenet group comp.unix.shell the habitat of shell gurus Thanks, I wonder if you know of any good book titles for Bash shell scripting, programming or the like?

Thanks for the usefull links, they are really helping. I just wanted to narrow it down , now I'll continue studying USING PERL, by Orielly. And refresh on C language, since its been 8 years since i studied Borland C+

command line scripting. Can i do all my command line scripting in perl? or do I have to learn shell Programming? What language is Bash shell programming in? C++ or B?

I am interested in learning what is the most usable programming language to learn in regards to running linux and learning scripting? I am now studying Perl.

Right on Guys, I'll check out the - Penguin Liberation Front and update my packages with the urpmi. Think I'll pass on membership for now simply because i don't like doing monetary transactions online.

stuff equivalent to Contributors, PLF-free and PLF-non-free PLF I don't know what that means. Yes it is the six cd set i was thinking of signing up a membership for. Do you know what any of the extra packages are? Maybe I should just be content with the 3 cd set of LE that i am using now. Just curious.

Cross over Office will run alot of Windows programs including Internet Explorer.

I was interested in finding out before I blindly spend my money, if anyone here is or has installed the Mandriva 2005Le Silver Edtion? And if anyone can tell me the difference between that edition and the Free 2005 LE.

Thanks for the info, I plan on running native games

Due to ftp protocals having trouble with over 2 gig files there is a program just for this: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html Info:

I love the paste and go feature.

At command prompt type startx Oh beat me to it.

Thanks for moving it to yours. I got so excited that I didn't check. Great deal from Opera.

Download link for Mandriva Edition: http://www.opera.com/download/linux.html

What ftp site is it?

Me Too.

Interesting, thanks

okay, thanks

I just downloaded and installed PC BSD and it runs kde 3.42 and its sweet. My question is this: Is BSD less vulnerable to hacking, viruses, penetration,etc, than linux? Screenshot:

Wow, didn't know that you could get those for linux. This requires further investigating. Unreal Tourn. sounds like a good place to start.

I was wondering what is an enjoyable game, whether FPS, flight sim, or other that runs natively on Linux? Never played anything but GNUChess on linux, looking to expand my linux gaming horizons.
