If your are intersted in Programming why don't give it a shot !.
try C,C++,Perl, or any GUI toolkits (GTK,QT), for me I started Qt programming a couple of days since I know C++(classes,composition,inheritance,encapsulation) , WELL this is what`ve been told :)

Or how about Linux-networking or stuff like that samaba ,...
or networking in General ,Ofcourse under linux it will be wonderfull, connecting windoz PC`s to other Linux boxes or .....etc ..

or maybe you wanna be a Linux tweaker(tips,tweaks,configurations)play with your distro and you`ll learn something

Well this is what am gonna do !

If you really want to learn linux then you have to

use the one true distro:
debian

and the one true editor:
vim

and the one true shell:
zsh

and the one true windowmanager:
windowmaker

so far ...

the best users guide (http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Guide/) i have ever saw, makes u love unix as well as reading guide and shell scripting and the command line

better prompts

better command history access

rm * will produce a warning

print

better output/input redirection

plus all the cool guys use it

i don't know how !!!

better command history access
please tell me one of them not in bash

rm * will produce a warning
(y/n) in bash or you meant something else

print

better output/input redirection

plus all the cool guys use it


any way i think the only deficiency in bash is the slowish specially during compilation and thats because its flood of advantages and features

regards

Bash has very good docs IMO, and the Advanced Bash scripting guide is superb, its docs could use a bit of humor but then again you'll get the suit wanabes shouting how it isn't serious so can't please them all.

>better prompts
examples???
mine gives me different colors for each state of login (is it SU is it ssh) the current directory color differs according to what permissions I have over the directory and last but not least it shows me the return code of the previous command.

>better command history access
examples examples???

>rm * will produce a warning
ever heard of alias rm="rm -i" works fine for me.

>print
??????
is that a better echo?? or something, what does it do printf style formating?? bash has printf

>better output/input redirection
??!!!! don't believe this what can they do differently with that?? examples please?

>plus all the cool guys use it
all the hot gals use BASH

cheers,
Alaa

yes i am interested in linux tweaking ...
Thnx every 1.:) :D
