Hi Friends,
This is my first ever post on this forum. I am a new user in the Linux field. Although, I have been working for sometime with CentOS at my work, I would consider myself an amateur only in this field.
The way file system works in linux and the reason its open-source, has really aroused my interest greatly in it. I am planning to start to learn kernel hacking and shell scripting. I have been doing my research and have few questions before i move on with it.
I have managed an extra laptop just for my linux learning and it has good configuration to support all the linux distros. I am planning to use Fedora distro to start with it. I just wanted to know if its a good idea to start off with fedora. I am more interested in learning linux from command line and shell, so is fedora a good choice ?
Also, how about using freeBSD in UNIX. I read somewhere that its very stable and also very good for learning command line and scripting concepts ?
I read previous posts and found that every distro has its own advantages and disadvantages particular to users, i just wanted to figure out the best options in my case, where i want to be good with command line, scripting and kernel level programming and configurations.
I would be really grateful if anyone can help me !!!
Thanks
Rohit
