Hello all, I am a 16 year old enthusiast and since right now is summer break for me I have been trying to hit the books. I am working on "Linux power tools" as well as some books on Debian/GNU. I have 7 distros (Knoppix, Slackware, Red Hat, Debian, Suse, Slack, Telemetry box) and have successfully installed every one and played with the desktop environments, setting up SAMBA, trying to compile .tar.gz files and just messing around with stuff like the MOTD, Emacs, and vim. However, I am still a teenager so I have been slacking off and not getting near as much done as I have planned. My question is: Since you are admins and deal with reading not only the man pages but tons of other texts every day, how do you motivate yourself to sit down and just read it all, even when reading for hours and sometimes going through dozens of code examples ?? Thanks for answering some of the previous questions I have posted on this board and I also must thank the whole open source community for being there, this whole world has been so enlightening for me. To break out of the Windows/MAC world and experience the breath of fresh air and interoperability the linux/open source world brings is such an enlightening experience. Thanks, Josh - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-admin" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
