| doctormo | hey bodhizazen | 04:22 |
| bodhizazen | good to see you doctormo | 04:28 |
| Raidsong | hello | 04:31 |
| bodhizazen | 'lo Raidsong | 04:32 |
| Raidsong | do you know the names of any books that would teach me about linux? | 04:33 |
| bodhizazen | is there any aspect in particular you wish to learn ? | 04:36 |
| bodhizazen | Or linux in general ? | 04:36 |
| Raidsong | linux in general | 04:36 |
| bodhizazen | did you check your local library ? | 04:37 |
| Raidsong | yea | 04:37 |
| bodhizazen | anything ? | 04:37 |
| Raidsong | they have all of 4 books and 2 of those say myspace on them | 04:37 |
| bodhizazen | Ah , too bad | 04:37 |
| Raidsong | 1 is about ebay and 1 is about windows me | 04:37 |
| bodhizazen | You can find a ton of information on line | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | If you want an e-book, search free linux books | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | in google | 04:38 |
| Raidsong | i bought some books on python to teach myself but there is a lot of books on linux and i dont know where to start | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | I suspect most of us learn by using linux | 04:38 |
| bodhizazen | how long have you been using Linux ? | 04:39 |
| Raidsong | i started with 8.04 | 04:39 |
| Raidsong | but was off an on until recently | 04:39 |
| bodhizazen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community | 04:40 |
| bodhizazen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows | 04:40 |
| bodhizazen | both good places to start | 04:40 |
| Raidsong | i read the book that was in the beginners section | 04:40 |
| Raidsong | so i understand how to use it but i want to get into the more techinical stuff | 04:41 |
| bodhizazen | Well the rabbit hole is deep , so "technical stuff" is a broad question | 04:42 |
| bodhizazen | servers, desktops, development, security, networking ... | 04:43 |
| Raidsong | development was what i was wanting to do | 04:43 |
| Raidsong | im running 9.10 so my path would cross with as much development as possible | 04:44 |
| bodhizazen | http://books.google.com/books?id=GB_O89fnz_sC&lpg=PA132&ots=wH_dJ4xYjs&dq=linux%20boot%20fsck%20order%20dirty&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false | 04:44 |
| bodhizazen | =) | 04:44 |
| Raidsong | ive been looking at all the reviews of the book and this seems to be a monster of a book | 05:10 |
| Raidsong | 1000 pages is a large undertaking | 05:10 |
| Raidsong | the thought of reading it cover to cover could make Chuck Norris weep | 05:13 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: Then don't read it as one book, surely it must be divided into chapters. | 05:36 |
| Raidsong | yes it is but i want to learn all the chapters | 05:37 |
| Raidsong | http://books.google.com/books?id=GB_O89fnz_sC&lpg=PA132&ots=wH_dJ4xYjs&dq=linux%20boot%20fsck%20order%20dirty&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=&f=false | 05:37 |
| doctormo | Raidsong: then you have a lot of reading to do :-D | 06:16 |
| Raidsong | i know | 06:18 |
| Raidsong | im going to go pick it up at barnes and noble tomarrow | 06:18 |
| Raidsong | .join #ubuntu-beginners-help | 17:47 |
| pleia2 | oh bother, I never planned a meeting this week | 18:04 |
| doctormo | pleia2: It's ok, lots to do :-) | 18:30 |
