[TriLUG] first post: looking for basic Linux course

[Carl Crider]

I suggest building a Linux system from scratch. Any distro would work,
but here's
info from LFS.

Bash-Scripting

Building a system from the ground/up (and with no X installed)
worked for me early on. That, and a copy of Linux in a Nutshell.

Have fun.
