You are right Ed,
But true is if you want to learn more then general guide, you have to buy a
book. People are getting paid to write them. On line manuals are good for
general guidance but lack of examples , tips and simple language.
Everyone has man pages on his computer but try read this, they are writen
for
CRAY programmers with 20 years assembler experience ;-)
I finally got a book 'Linux Unleashed ' Second Edition. from 1994 that should
do. Besides look at amazon and you will find that old linux books are more
pricey then new ones, they come around $65! There must be a reason for it.
Anyway I 'm going to learn Linux from all sources.
Regards
Peter
