I pretty much learned Linux with the following two commands:
====
cd /usr/bin
man *
====
... and alot of experimentation in another window as I read.
Uhm... after that just a some reading... in other places.
I think half the reason I started going to LUG meetings was to find
someone who knows Linux so that I can stop rtFm.... it's getting old.
I spend 2 hours learning all about some utility so that I can do
something it does well, when if I had know someone to ask who knew what
was going on and would answer my questions it would have taken 10 minutes
to do. Sure I knew a heck of a lot more than if I had just asked someone
but is the time worth it every time?
I appreciate people telling me which Fm to read rather than just answering
my question but ... too little time ...
TTFN,
Mike
Now I would highly recommend the following:
find /usr/man -type f | xargs -n 1 man -l
find /usr/doc -type f | xargs -n 1 zless
... if you read 12 pages a day it will only take one year (on my
work system) and you will certainly be able to amaze people...
