I wish to really master Debian. I've run Red Hat and SuSE; but I have
switched to Debian, because I have always wanted it--and I don't like
to have everything done for me, all my choices made for me, the way
the two mentioned distros do. The thing is, having run those distros
in the past, didn't really leave me prepared for a "real" Linux
distribution like Debian.
Now, I have printed out the Debian FAQ, and the Debian Reference and
Quick Reference, and I am sort of having trouble geting started.
There is so much to learn!
What is the suggested course to follow, to learn? I have "Running
Linux", but I can't really get any new books this month, and my health
makes it difficult to read at the computer for long periods of time
(which is why I made the printouts). I've made other printouts as
well (the apt-get HOWTO, Debian installation manual, the Debian Kernel
HOWTO, some other things, but where to start?)
Any ideas, suggestions, what helped for you, etc. etc. would be
appreciated.
One thing I need to do, is to re-build my kernel so that I can use the
experimental USB patch for USB support for my Sharp Zaurus--and in
reading a recent thread started by a guy who has a SubWiki page on
building the Debian kernel, has left me totally confused!
TIA,
