   I tend to lol silently because that's a great logic. "Linux is unix when you   
   add on a lot of 'GNU is not unix' tools." If i add 'not unix' tools how can   
   make that anything unix? ;-)

   I tried to do so and started with the FHS. Learning with man and info pages   
   only is the very hard way because of the missing information to understand the   
   context. The man pages explain how to use a switch or parameter but they do   
   not explain why or when this parameter is needed. E.g. if you don't know about   
   tcp/ip concepts then you don't understand how to set a netmask or how to   
   configure a firewall. I need to understand those concepts and i do refer to   
   other sources to learn the missing knowledge.   
      
   Regards
