Use the forum search and you'll find plenty of people asking similar questions and getting links to good books and such. If you have specific questions this forum is the place to ask them, but "tell me about linux" is so broad a question the answer would fill books.

I don't think you need to learn 9 kinds of linux. Though arranged in somewhat different ways, they're nearly all the same at the core, just with different package managers and high-level management software. My personal reccomendation is gentoo because it's extremely flexible and has a package manager as easy as apt, but lots of people think it's crazy for compiling everything from scratch.

Plan 9 is not linux, or even UNIX. It's an "experimental" operating system that didn't really take off. It's not dead though, useful bits and pieces of it have ended up in all sorts of things. UTF-8 was originally part of Plan9, for example.

And it's servers, not server's.

I hate iptables too. hate hate hate. I use firehol to manage my firewalls, it's a language that outputs iptables statements but is far less obtuse and far easier to debug.

passage(6)							       Games								passage(6)

NAME

       passage - a game about the passage through life

SYNOPSIS

       passage

DESCRIPTION

       Passage	is  a video game written by Jason Rohrer about navigating the maze that is life and the obstacles, rewards, disappointments, chal-
       lenges, relationships and the inevitable departure that is part of the adventure of life.

       Passage is an art game. As a result, some people love it and some people hate it. Check out the links to places it has  been  discussed	on
       the website for some of the reactions.

       The  mechanics  of  the game are fairly simple. Your "score" is related to two things; exploration and treasure. Treasure pieces are repre-
       sented by blue stars that you find in the treasure chests scattered about the maze of life's challenges. Some chests will be empty, so  you
       must  learn  which  sequence of gems on the front of the chests means treasure is inside.  You have the option to team up with a spouse. If
       you do, exploring life will be more rewarding but some treasure will no longer be reachable.  As in life, your spouse  will  die  and  that
       death will slow you down.  In the end, you will die alone after your 5 minutes is up.

       The  most interesting part about this game is the emotions it evokes within the player of the game. The ultra-low-res pixel art helps here,
       by not being too distracting and by leaving plenty room for viewer interpretation.

       The followup to Passage is Gravitation, another art game by Jason Rohrer.

USAGE

       Passage has no command-line options.

       The arrow keys move the player around.

       The Esc key is used to quit the game.

       The game resolution and use of fullscreen or a window can be set by editing the files in /etc/passage.
