Running Linux was the first Linux book I read, back in 2000. It was available as a free etext from TLDP in a variety of formats, including my preference, plain vanilla ASCII! Fun times! I don't know whether it is still being updated, but it was definitely helpful back then. Really, TLDP was just plain awesome back in the day. It was well-curated, high-quality information. I'm afraid that web search is teaching us all to forget the value of curation. I also read the Slackware book, likewise in etext. I had been using Unix shells for years, so I already had a grasp of the command line before I started running Linux on my own machines. I learned Bourne shell scripting from an old tutorial I found on the net. Wow that brings back some good memories. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
