Linux Administration for Fun and Profit

cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 26 Jan 2003 : 19:05:13 I never got to make a thread about my first day at the Linux Administration class I'm taking at the local community college because of the worm issue since Friday night. Well, it rocked...I'm so glad I'm taking it. Even in the first day I learned all kinds of basic Unix commands that work right in OSX's Terminal! It's so cool... In the class, we're specifically dealing with Red Hat 8.0 on Intel hardware, simply because this is by and large the most common iteration of the Linux experience, however it's a very open environment and we're encouraged to bring in our own machines. So, I'm going to bring in my TiBook and install Red Hat 8.0 in VPC 6. If anybody else out there is still a newbie and wants to learn as much as possible about Unix/Linux, I recommend finding a class in your locale! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 My Site: http://cine.sytes.net My Hardware Page: http://cineware.sytes.net

Also, the teacher of the class, besides being very passionate about Linux, holds a very sardonic view of Microsoft, and mentioned them only to show how much more efficient the Linux wasmovement was. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 My Site: http://cine.sytes.net My Hardware Page: http://cineware.sytes.net

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 27 Jan 2003 : 04:49:56 Hey that sounds cool cine! Something like that would probably help me alot with this whole OS X server thing, except that my head is aboot to explode as is, heh. Half the regular unix commands are so freaked up in OS X (this is version 1.1 mind you..), its impossible to look anything up. That and it is just plain outdated software. So overall I hope your experience turns out much better and more rewarding! ~The Penguin \| Want free 68kmla email?
