Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took the time to reply to my question. It means a lot to me, and I appreciate it. Thank you everyone! I'm thinking what I'll do, is basically start out with Shell Scripting, and once I've got that at least understood where I can edit my boxe's Configuration Files, and not screw it up (Not really scared of doing that, when I started learning Ruby I messed with every example in each book I was reading through just to see what would happen, I'm naturally curious like that ) and once I'm able to understand and write decent scripts, I'm going to then toy with Perl, Python, and Ruby. The reason I'm thinking all three, is that, well, for one, I like that idea, but also it wouldn't hurt to know 3 different languages, as that should make learning C a lot easier. My long term goal, is going to be learning C, and maybe eventually some Assembler, but mainly C. I really like what I would be able to do with Perl and Ruby, and there's also quite a lot Python will do for me personally, so I think this will be the steps: Shell Scripting > Perl/Python/Ruby > C .... Profit! :) Thanks again everyone, it was great to see some of the replies and knowing it wasn't something everyone else got and I didn't in terms of HOW to learn these things. -Allen
