<font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Thank you everyone so much for the valuable information you have given me with my quest here.<br><br>A better understanding of the command line in Linux. I have installed applications from source on my home computer but I always just take the default settings. So if it installs to my home directory that is where it goes, if it goes someplace else then that is where it goes. I would like to see in action and then do in action of installing software to where it makes more sense to some of my "purist" friends like to /opt or other directories. Setting up individual users for those apps with individual permissions so in the case of a security breach the whole box isnt compromised, just that application.<br>
<br>Bash scripting. Some perl programming. I have seen how very helpful both of these are from and administration point of view.<br><br>The general goings on of running a linux server for various tasks.<br><br>I just always enjoyed work more being in a tech support position rather than anything else. And since I made the choice to switch from Windows to Linux, I have just been amazed at what Linux can do and want to learn more of it. <br>
