Jim,

You want to learn ALL of it?  Some of us have been at it for years 
and believe me nobody knows all of it.  Best way to start though is 
by buying a CD ROM -- either FreeBSD or (sorry for the heresy on this 
mailing list) one of the Linux variants.  Then install it on your 
computer and you're on your way.

Downloading is too messy and complicated, for $39 bucks or so just 
buy a CD.  Save you a lot of trouble.

Steve

First of all, I want to thank those who replied with good info. As to
where I can download Unix and what files to get, it looked like a big
mess to me. Newbie I guess (with this site).

 

Q>

 

I am very excited in learning all aspects of Unix. I have a lot of
knowledge in other areas but not unix. What is the suggestion of the
day for someone like me who wants to learn ALL the tricks, commands (of
different systems), anything and everything that will enhance my
knowledge and ability to achieve what I desire the most......Excellence
!!!
