I've readed all your post about learning FreeBSD, C and other thing like that. I've learned than I cannot learn with a teacher. I need some characters on a screen or on paper. But before that, I was lazy and I was crying around for some easy way to learn. But sorry, you need to sit down, read, try and crash your system. I also found than Xwindows make me feel lazy and play with netscape and tkirc! So I deleted Xfree. Hey, Unix is Command Line Interface.. Lynx rocks! -Best for beginner http://www.geek-girl.com/Unixhelp/ -the UNIX Reference Desk http://www.geek-girl.com/unix.html -Unix Guru Universe---beginners http://www.ugu.com/sui/ugu/show?I=help.beginners&F=1111111111&G=Y Vi: http://www.linuxbox.com/~taylor/4ltrwrd/ C: ftp://scitsc.wlv.ac.uk/pub/cprog/prog.course.wlv./ http://arachnid.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/CE.html The main thing I hate with Unix is than there is no standarisation, so you need to read a lot of stuff who do not really matter about such and such situation (exemple: sh vs csh, will I learn both? Do I need to learn both? Also System V vs BSD vs AIX vs HP-UX etc...: they always give a lot of documentation on both way in the same document, this is why my old Oreilly book have 500 pages on Unix, and only ½ of them apply for BSD, if not less) Hope it will help -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
