I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to help out. I am hoping someone with CentOS will take notice at my difficulty in finding the bloody manuals and will put a link for future newbs that says "Download Manuals Here". I also hope in the future if I have questions I will be able to get the answers I seek and those who helped me before will be able to help me again.
Thanks
It may help if you joined a local library and found one of the many Redhat/RHEL books that assume your a complete newbie. The good thing about RHEL/CentOS/Fedora is the availability of documentation/books/dvds in bookstores and libraries. For example the Fedora 3 unleased book is of some use to CentOS 4 since 87% of the apps in Fedora made it to CentOS 4.
- You may also consider joining a LUG (Linux User Group) near you. - Try the "man yum" to check out info on yum. - Do a --help on a command - Do not run as root incase you damage your system with a wrong command.
