Not exaclty applying for a Linux job but trying to learn Linux and then trying to see if i can get a job somewhere...

And i might have followed a little bit as to what u have said...so lets see...looks like u know a lot of Linux...maybe wud be good to meet up and discuss a few things in person...

What do u say>??? i have very limited time thats the reason for the urgency...

I see from your profile that you're a network engineer. That means you're probably looking to administer some kind of Linux server. Am I correct?

First start with Ubuntu. Download the DVD or CDs and install it on a spare machine. Play around with the control panels so that you have some idea of how the system can be configured compared with Windows.

Next, check out how the system really works. Each one of the fancy control panels writes its output to a text file. Search Google for a tutorial on the 'bash' shell, open up a terminal windows and navigate to the /etc directory. Try to work out what the main files are doing.

Once you're confident about your abilities to navigate the system, join a mailing list or newsgroup devoted to Linux newbies, and ask specific questions. Most people on these lists are happy to help when asked "I can do this in Windows, but I can't work out how to do it with Linux".

Have fun. Are you applying for a Linux job?

Thanks buddy for that info,

But what i basically want to learn is atleast get a head start in that direction if i want to learn Linux and how to be using it...just a head start...is something i really need to get going on...

so i want to know the best way to understand and learn it...

What do you want to know? I can tell you where to download a copy of Ubuntu (a popular version of Linux), and point you in the direction of documentation, but Linux is a big topic.

Essentially, what most people know as Linux is really thirty years worth of software development on the Unix platform, and you're not going to learn a small fraction of that in 45 days.
