There is a lot to know

I started learning Linux by installing it on my personal computer. This was many years ago, when things -didn't- "just work" out of the box. Hardware of many sorts, in particular, was a nightmare.

Here is what I would recommend today:

Install Linux on a computer.

Wipe Windows off this computer or you will find yourself returning to it far too often.

Do all your 'real' computer work from Linux / Unix.

Run it from the command line as much as you possibly can (admins, I am told, live there). You can do an amazing lot without ever picking up a mouse IF you know what you are doing. Learn to use vi, bash, pine / mutt SSH, Rsync, iptables and so on. Actually, if you learn to use those well, you will be hooked for life.

Search for books and tutorials (paper or electronic) about scripting and begin to create useful scripts. Google is your friend.

Search for a university class nearby dealing with Unix. That's where I got my feet wet with shell scripting.

The moment you learn enough to feel just a little confident in your skills, start teaching others. Nothing speeds along the learning process for the teacher like teaching others. Nothing. No matter how many mistakes you made as you learned, your student will find ways to make new ones that you will need to solve ... and teach.

Above all else, have fun. Your new skills will move you into the top few percent of computer users worldwide ... most of whom would be doomed if presented with a CLI and a user prompt.

NAME
pdebuild-user-mode-linux - pbuilder-user-mode-linux way of doing debuild SYNOPSIS
pdebuild-user-mode-linux [pdebuild-user-mode-linux options] -- [pbuilder-user-mode-linux options] DESCRIPTION
A convenience program for pbuilder-user-mode-linux which invokes pbuilder after obtaining appropriate root privilege in a Debian source directory. One must be inside the source tree containing the debian directory, in order to make it work. PDEBUILD OPTIONS
--buildsourceroot [fakeroot] The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-buildpackage --auto-debsign Invoke debsign at the end of pdebuild process. --debsign-k [key-id] Pass -k option to debsign to specify which keyid to sign. --buildresult [Directory for build results] The place which build result is stored. --configfile [Extra config file to use] The configuration file is used, but not passed on to pbuilder-user-mode-linux. --debbuildopts [options to pass to dpkg-buildpackage] The space-delimited list of options are passed to dpkg-buildpackage. This option appends to pbuilder option --debbuildopts and may also be used to reset the list of options by passing the empty string. --use-pdebuild-internal Uses a different implementation of pdebuild, which calls clean and build inside the chroot, using bind-mounts. pdebuild-internal tries to run debian/rules clean inside the chroot. To achieve the goal, the working directory is passed on inside the chroot, in the form of bind-mounting and debuild is run. This option will not protect the working directory and its parent directories from the build scripts. -- [pbuilder options] After the -- symbol, an arbitrary number of pbuilder options can be specified. See pbuilder-user-mode-linux.1 for full list of options. There is an exception that --buildresult needs to be specified as pdebuild option before the -- to be effective. FILES
/etc/pbuilderrc The configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux. /usr/share/pbuilder/pbuilderrc The default configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux. ${HOME}/.pbuilderrc Configuration file for pbuilder-user-mode-linux, used in pdebuild-user-mode-linux, overrides what is written in /etc/pbuilderrc AUTHOR
