Hi there. I discovered your site by the use of Google even as searching for
a similar matter, your website came up. It seems to be good. I've
bookmarked it in my google bookmarks to come back later.

This place helped me massively starting out as a Graduate Systems admin,
less than a year later and I'm kickstarting machines, NFS mounting project
directories, writing shell scripts and co-administering flexnet license
servers and thats just the Linux only side, not to mention the fun involved
in LDAP - NIS and Centrify.
Thanks for the guides Bob!

All of you nutwits asking for linux tutorials or asking "how can I learn
linux" and similar questions are like,super duper dumbs.I thought I've seen
enough of dumb people,but one just needs to browse through web! Bob already
did such an awesome job putting up this information. What more do you want?
Is he our personal servant, you jerks? And there WAS, IS, and WILL be just
one way to learn ANYTHING in life -
1. Read & learn
2. Practice
3. Go to step 1
4. Applying common sense
;-)
Come on guys (n gals)! Have some net etiquettes!
Cheers n Good luck Bob!! Thanks!

Good GOD folks, He is not your personal career counselor, or your daddy,
He went to a lot of work to present all this information to you for FREE
and all of you want him to hold your hand and funnel the information into
your head. Get real, study what he presents for you or leave but quit your
whining. Damn your driving me nuts. Just reading the posts almost made me
sick. It would seam there is a reason that you are here crying for someone
to do it for you, because you have never learned to stand on your own two
feet.

non interactive shell script that does not require stdout access and runs
for
an appreciable length of time (using sleep might be an effective method).
Call it “BadScript”
or something comparable and schedule it as a cron job. Next, develop
another utility
(call it “SafeCheck” ) that reads the processes running in memory, and,
if it finds
“BadScript” running, have it kill it. Schedule “SafeCheck” as a
cron job and have it email
its results to the root account using the native UNIX/Linux mail client.

At this writing, for my money the best distro for newbies that just want to
surf the net and do media driven stuff has got to be PINGUY. Talk about
everything working right out of the box!! Never got that from Ubuntu or
Mint. Closest I came prior was Puppy (if you have an older computer use
Puppy 4.31 as you don't have the graphic issuses that other kernels seem to
have).
PINGUY is very simple and straight forward. Docky, Firefox, Thunderbird,
Deluge bitorrent, Rythmbox, VLC, Gedit, PDF Plug In, all worked perfectly
straight from the gate (my pc is less than 2 yrs old), It's pre bookmarked
for facebook (no more koobface),google mail and reader, stumbleupon,
youtube, and many others aas well. It uses the Debian package repository
(we know how massive that is. DVD shrink or Nero might even be able to fit
it on a cd...who knows(maybe I'll try and post back), as it's just over a
Gig. Awsome for beginners. Kudos to the Dev's!!

Thanks Blackhatlinux, I tried both without any positive result. My sound
card story is more weird : Insert a music CD, Rhythmbox opens and reads CD
and each track! Click on "play" and it starts playing - I can see
play-button moving to the right - but the speakers remain silent at full
blast! A reboot to Windows confirms my speakers and soundcard are in good
order. Windows reads soundcard as Via Vynil AC'97. Ubuntu as Via 8237. As
you can see my hardware is not ancient nor brand-new. I'm a Linux newbie
and as far as I can see I cannot load any other driver. Out of desperation
I jumped onto Launchpad where I got a 1000V shock - there are thousands of
Ubuntu users with problems! When I got to question no 1200 without a
similar problem I gave up. Who are these guys that tell us that "Ubuntu
just works." Rubbish!

@joshua: that's weird, ubuntu problems are usually around antiques printers

your LJ 1005 (recommended & proprietry). have you tried both of them? there
are devices that will work only with proprietry drivers. and you need to
download additional plugins for it.

done with no reaction from printer etc. When I reboot to Windows both
function normal. Please help

Great comments... SEND ME A COMPLETE TUTORIAL! HA HA. Sense of humour is a
must when dealing with linux, the learning curve can be steep and you will
at times want to throw the laptop out the window. DON'T. Set up dual boot
as soon as you can, you will brick one or two systems when learning, and
ensure all your personal info is backed up on a separate drive. At least
you'll then be able to get online for a fix, also burn a puppy linux cd
just in case you ruin GRUB or whatever you boot from. The only way to learn
is the hard way, learn from your own mistakes.

Awesome website!! Bookmarked! Thanks a lot!
It's really strange why these people are asking for tutorials to be sent.
Isn't this whole website full of them?? Great ones too! I think that maybe
what these people are really asking is "Is there any way I can learn about
Linux without any effort??" Be grateful!

The most important command in Linux is:
rm -rf
Exercise this power with caution!
---- use of that command?

Dr Bob.
Thankyou for this very well written tutorial. Your style of writing makes
even a scared novice warm up to Linux. In that sense you are doing a great
deal for the open source community
Some comments are totally entitled and your replies are spot-on.Some people
just need to grow up
@sst: Please dont take ownership for Indian culture(or lack of) and
Indians. Each idiot deserves his spotlight.. and put-downs. sullying an
entire culture is not a way to show you are cultured. Please apart from the
tutorial learn something called tact from Dr.Dan which he has plenty of

Bob , can you please help i am very new to linux & obtained a copy of
Ubuntu 9.10 which i put on a 320gig hard drive so just as i started to
learn how to use this system along came the the new edition 10.4 which i
down loaded via ubuntu web site however after a long time downloading & as
requested to boot restart for the the new software program to work & all it
would tell me was it could not find my program so i hope you can advise me
in plain lingo to my little knowledge of how to boot & find the new edition
or should i just forget about it & proceed to reformat my hard drive &
start again looking forward to your good advise Regards William

As an Indian, I'm somewhat ashamed and embarrassed by some of the very
gauche comments you're getting. I guess it's something in the culture...
they feel like they are entitled to having some things. I know my saying
sorry doesn't make up for it, but there it is anyway. Oh, and thank you
very much for putting this together, your explanations are clear and
enlightening.

Maybe a tutorial on how to ask questions.

Thanks Bob. I see alot of different levels of Linux users here. It's great
to see the variety and know your not by yourself with the things you don't
understand about the OS. Note to all visitors of this site: no one should
be above asking questions. I do the same in class because in the end that
question that I asked or didn't will infact determine how much of those 6
figures i'll see when i graduate.

Easy to navigate and understand. Thank you for putting this together. I
hope you keep adding more advanced info. You got a "high-level bookmark"
from me. One thing I would like to see more explanation of is the
octal_mode permission settings. Geeky, you say? Heck, yeah. But many times
I'm entering commands posted by others, and I'd like a better understanding
of what I'm doing. Saw the explanation on the chmod command help page, and
I totally understand now...that I need a better explanation. :P Thanks
again.

@Bernard - Learning to be a hacker (in the true sense of the word) means
becoming an expert in a certain area of software. I'm not sure if it will
benefit you in the study of electronics, but it might open up other
opportunities.
bernard25 (

hello doc.. I am an electronics engineering student. But, I am also
interested learning more about computer into the deepest part of it. I have
this hunger to explore and learn things. But, I just want to ask if
learning to be a good ethical hacker can benefit me becoming for my
electronics engineering course. Thanks for this tutorial.
Loving Linux (
07 Feb 2010, 02:49)
This is a great tutorial, and appropriately called low fat linux. Love it!
When I first got started I was a little scared to make the plunge on my
main computer, so I used A Place to Code -> www.aplacetocode.com for my
personal linux server. I found them really helpful in the initial stages,
as they were still quite small and able to answer my questions. I really
feel like the best way to learn linux is perhaps initially go through a
small tutorial, but usually just find some useful things you'd like to do
with your linux machine and make a run at it on linux. Along the way you'll
learn everything you need to anyway. For example, your goal could be to
setup a web-blog from your own server. Perhaps, setup a server for backing
up your data from your primary machine to your linux box. Etc Etc....

Bob, you might have to make those "Next lesson" buttons bigger. maybe with
some bright, flashing neon colours...
great tutorial, by the way. I've been pointing-and-clicking for years, but
had never opened a terminal window before.
I especially appreciated the part on perl programming. I took a course on
C++ programming (we used the Eclipse compiler) last year which really got
me interested in programming in general. I wanted to learn other languages,
and found lots of tutorials, but I had no clue how to actually compile and
run the programs. So thanks! that was just what I needed.

@NNomad - Are you saying that Ubuntu cannot play MP3s or handle Flash
content? If so, you're wrong on both points. See
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mp3
@Ajit - My opinion is that operating systems will become MUCH LESS RELEVANT
over the next 10 years. As processing power expands and user interfaces
become more advanced, people just won't care what's under the hood. For
example, my cell phone runs the Android OS. But if it was Chrome, OS X,
PalmOS, or Windows, and it LOOKED and PERFORMED the same, why would I care?

Great site! Have been trying all weekend to understand mail and mailto

the site, I'm checking here first.
I welcome your comments. However... I am puzzled by many people
who say "Please send me the Linux tutorial." This website *is* your Linux Tutorial! Read everything here, learn
all you can, ask questions if you like. But don't ask me to send what you already have. :-)
NO SPAM! If you post garbage, it will be deleted, and you will be banned.
