I really need help in the basics: including the file system, rpms, tar, editors, shell, commands, kernal, and much more.[/code] Locke Frequent user Joined: 17 Jul 2002 Posts: 26 Post Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2002 2:33 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Use the Internet it will help you, here some links. http://www.mandrakecampus.com/ http://selflinux.sourceforge.net/ http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ and read the mandrake manuals (install and reference). When you know the basics it would be no problem to learn from the howtos and the manpages.

I have downloaded and printed out the material I wanted since paper, ring binders and ink refills are cheaper in the long run aside from being more up-to-date. Here is one of the most important sites not mentioned so far: http://www.tldp.org , home of the How-To's and mini How-To's, faqs, etc. Another userful site is http://linuxgazette.com .

It didn't just teach me how to make the most secure box around - it taught me how to hack!! (basically teaches how to hack so that you can protect yourself) but therefore (indirectly) taught me my way around linux and how to be an effective admin to my own (or a company's ;) network/linux box. Trust me - an AWESOME purchase. Found it cheap used on amazon. I'll send the ISBN# to anyone who PM's me for it... ramfree17 Moderator Joined: 18 Apr 2002 Posts: 1262 Location: Philippines Post Posted: Tue Jul 23, 2002 10:21 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ hey static, why not put the ISBN# here? Confused ciao! bil2 Newbie Joined: 18 May 2002 Posts: 24 Post Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2002 5:22 pm Post subject: _________________________________________________________________ Thanks for all the links folks! And, of course, I always learn alot reading posts and replies right here. Without this forum, I would have lost interest long ago.
