<p>Linux & Linux admin for newbies<br>
<br>
In last week's meeting an attendee was self described as a Linux
newbie and explained that Linux admin was an interest.<br>
As I identified with the "newbie" aspect I gave the attendee a
short list of topics to study.<br>
This list (somewhat modified) follows - and shows that I am
somewhat dated.<br>
And I invite the members to copy and and add to this list to
help other new newbies who might subscribe to these discussions.<br>
<br>
<br>
*IX == UNIX (history) <br>
(with reference to Tim's recap of last week.)<br>
<br>
Command Line Input aka CLI<br>
Terminal<br>
Screen<br>
Shell & BASH Shell <br>
BASH scripting<br>
tar<br>
ssh<br>
gnome<br>
unity<br>
gnome vs unity<br>
text editors: vi & vim & [other]<br>
<br>
Linux admin (aka DevOps)<br>
I have nothing to add here - and am looking for topics.<br>
(hint: I go back to fsck)<br>
<br>
