What books should I read etc. This is not a question for fedora-config-list, possibly fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx might be more appropriate (though I really have no idea where else to redirect you) Since you're an FC2 user, and you'd like to get started (hopefully developing for Fedora), some of the skills you'll require or will find handy will be: 1. Handling RPM 2. Handling Makefiles and the automake tools 3. Learning some basic programming languages - like C or Python (preferred w/Fedora config tools) Glade-2 is a package that you might find handy to install - it allows you to build GUI's mighty quickly. You can then use Python (via GladeGen easily) or even C to get things working HTH -- Colin Charles, byte@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi -- Fedora-config-list mailing list Fedora-config-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
