Speaking from my own set of Shoes, some part of it is about being attracted to something with discernible patterns.. predictable patterns.. I don't know, words aren't quite pulling together this morning, but.. Math and computers.. Maybe "logical" is the word I'm looking for.. If one has followed a [building block] type of learning path for either Math or computers, they're both actually... fun because they *can be* predictably logical.. That is, if one has taken the logical path of learning either subject via a [building block] type of education rather than trying to jump off into the very deepest end first. *shakes head at self* PS Linux From Scratch.. LFS.. I WISH I had found that first 20 years ago before all others. It would have made a lot less sense (to me) in that order, but all others after that would have made A LOT MORE sense in its shadow. I think I learned about LFS from Kernel Newbies, from a suggested further readings list or something, now that i think about it, too. #ThankYou! :) Cindy :) -- * runs with birdseed * _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
