      TZUTC: -0400       MSGID: 2338.linux@1:226/70 220b2a88       PID: Synchronet 3.17a-Win32 Apr 14 2017 MSC 1800       TID: SBBSecho 3.00-Win32 r3.34 Apr 14 2017 MSC 1800       I have been using Linux desktops for over five years. But I would really like       to learn more. I want a deeper appreciation and understanding of the system. I       remember the old days when one would buy a computer (Tandy, Comadore, Atari       800) and it came with a thick manual. That's all you had, a computer, a manual       and a terminal prompt. It was a world of exploration and discovery.              So my question is this. Does any one have a suggestion of a book that will       provide the same experience in learning to use Debian Linux?              ---David              This message transmitted on 100% recycled electrons.       --- SBBSecho 3.00-Win32        * Origin: The Basement Theory - Sciotoville, Ohio USA (1:226/70)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 14/6 15/2 18/0 103/705 116/116 123/0 25 50 115       SEEN-BY: 123/120 150 755 135/300 153/7001 7715 154/10 30 40 700 203/0       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 226/20 30 70 350 227/114 201 400 229/310 354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/452 616 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 261/38 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 292/854 300/4 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250 3634/0 12 15 24 27       SEEN-BY: 3634/50 119 5020/545       PATH: 226/70 3634/15 12 154/10 280/464 229/426           |
