Computer Need Direction for extra work ?

Hey , I have become pretty normal, using unix and what not and working around FEDORA 9

I was wondering does anyone have any IDEAS or have anything I should try to build or scripts to write ,
or possibly know any sites where I could practice some things just so I know I am writing them correctly or going in a good path to one day become a Unix ADMIN Smilie instead of creating 1000's users Smilie something a little more finger oriented ?

sorry if this is very vague, I just want some easy scripts to write and a good direction to head..
Sorry if this is the WRONG section



Thanks for the help
if I receive any;

xmkmf(1X)																 xmkmf(1X)

NAME
xmkmf - create a Makefile from an Imakefile SYNOPSIS
xmkmf [-a] [topdir[curdir]] DESCRIPTION
The xmkmf command is the normal way to create a Makefile from an Imakefile shipped with third-party software. When invoked with no arguments in a directory containing an Imakefile, the imake program is run with arguments appropriate for your system (configured into xmkmf when X was built) and generates a Makefile. When invoked with the -a option, xmkmf builds the Makefile in the current directory, and then automatically executes "make Makefiles" (in case there are subdirectories), "make includes", and "make depend" for you. This is the normal way to configure software that is outside the X Consortium build tree. If working inside the X Consortium build tree (unlikely unless you are an X developer, and even then this option is never really used), the topdir argument should be specified as the relative pathname from the current directory to the top of the build tree. Optionally, curdir may be specified as a relative pathname from the top of the build tree to the current directory. It is necessary to supply curdir if the current directory has subdirectories, or the Makefile will not be able to build the subdirectories. If a topdir is given, xmkmf assumes nothing is installed on your system and looks for files in the build tree instead of using the installed versions. SEE ALSO
