I'm a one-year-old UNIX-user. :-) I'd like to learn more about it, and one of the major holes in my UNIX-knowledge is like the ozone layer over the Antarctic...porting and installing UNIX software. Does somebody have a good reference as to compiling and installing/deinstalling and so forth? The FreeBSD ports/packages system is a really good one (even simpler tha Wondows Wizards!!! :-) ), but I want a more thorough insight as to what really happens in the machine. UNIX System Administration? Porting UNIX software? Are these outdated? Anyone?
