[04:22] <bodhizazen> 'lo everyone =)
[04:22] <doctormo> hey bodhizazen
[04:28] <bodhizazen> good to see you doctormo
[04:31] <Raidsong> hello
[04:32] <bodhizazen> 'lo Raidsong
[04:33] <Raidsong> do you know the names of any books that would teach me about linux?
[04:36] <bodhizazen> is there any aspect in particular you wish to learn ?
[04:36] <bodhizazen> Or linux in general ?
[04:36] <Raidsong> linux in general
[04:37] <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
[04:38] <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
[04:39] <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
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <Raidsong> so i understand how to use it but i want to get into the more techinical stuff
[04:42] <bodhizazen> Well the rabbit hole is deep , so "technical stuff" is a broad question
[04:43] <bodhizazen> servers, desktops, development, security, networking ...
[04:43] <Raidsong> development was what i was wanting to do
[04:44] <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> =)
[05:10] <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
[05:13] <Raidsong> the thought of reading it cover to cover could make Chuck Norris weep
[05:36] <doctormo> Raidsong: Then don't read it as one book, surely it must be divided into chapters.
[05:37] <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
[06:16] <doctormo> Raidsong: then you have a lot of reading to do :-D
[06:18] <Raidsong> i know
[06:18] <Raidsong> im going to go pick it up at barnes and noble tomarrow
[17:47] <Raidsong> .join #ubuntu-beginners-help
[18:04] <pleia2> oh bother, I never planned a meeting this week
[18:30] <doctormo> pleia2: It's ok, lots to do :-)
