Thank you for the re ply.
I have been reading and studying Linus beginner by Machtelt Garrels and ignoring every thing else in life.
The reason i did post something on Debian bare bones is because many Linux distr os come across with written words alluding to thousands of free programs or applications.
I personally feel as though it is a total miss conception of reality with copy left being basterized into a free for all by many people just to suck in the ignorant into their commerce traps, while reality calls for a person to get down to the command line and grind some finger skin.
I can understand that there are thousands of free programs in the form of utilities that are used in the command line programming. And that many people have built various GUI apps that are free. And that it all goes back to C and building large from small basic programs that fit together.
But to announce any Linus OS with some grandiose words with Free in every other sentence is annoying.
As well as finding books in any area of computer tech with an author that has his / her feet on the ground.
I spend more time sorting the bs from the facts then i do harvesting the facts into the brain cells.
Thank you for the re ply and the support.
chow for now

FACTER(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 FACTER(8)

NAME

       facter - Collect and display facts about the system

SYNOPSIS

       facter [options] [fact] ...

DESCRIPTION

       facter collects and displays facts about the current system.

       The  library  behind  Facter  is  easy  to expand, making Facter an easy way to collect information about a system from within the shell or
       within Ruby.

       If no facts are specifically asked for, then all facts will be returned.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with  two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options	is
       included below.

       --yaml Emit facts in YAML format.

       --json Emit facts in JSON format.

       --puppet
	      Load the Puppet libraries, thus allowing Facter to load Puppet-specific facts.

       --help Show summary of options.

       --version
	      Show version of program.

       --debug
	      Enable debugging.

       --trace
	      Enable backtraces.

       --timing
	      Enable timing.

EXAMPLES

       facter Display a list of all facts

       facter kernel
	      Display the kernel fact
