Really wanna understand and learn Linux - is LFS the way?
by Delpux from LinuxQuestions.org on (#59FNS)
Good day,
I am pretty new to Linux, have been using Ubuntu for little more than a year now, and played little with Red Hat 23 years ago when I got it on a CD with a computer magazine :)
I really want to get a better and deeper understanding of how it works and get more accustomed to using shell commands. I have been trying to find out what distro I should set up on my new computer - user friendly is not the main issue, since I always have my Ubuntu on the other side of the desk - more like a distro that would force me into understanding and learning.
I am wondering if Linux From Scratch wouldn't be ideal for this purpose? And since I like it much better to have my learning material on paper then I am wondering if someone knows if this book "Linux from Scratch" by Gerard Beekmans, published the year 2000, is good for this purpose or if I should try to find one more recently published? Any recommendations for a good book?
