I am a longtime (~10 years) Windows tinkerer, but just got into Linux in
the past year, specifically for the purpose of setting up MythTV (which,
simply put, rocks). I have it working, thanks to Jarod's fantastic
guide. However, 90% of the commands I entered on faith, without any
clue what I was doing.
Are there any good resources that people can recommend for learning
about the architecture of the linux system? I'm not looking for a white
paper, but just a general idea of how it treats hard drives (e.g.,
having to mount everything), peripherals (e.g., video capture cards),
etc. along with some of the common commands that are used to manipulate
system resources (e.g., depmod, modprobe, lspci, dmesg, etc.).
Any resources are greatly appreciated. I don't mind doing heavy lifting
- if I can, I would be willing to put together a mini-FAQ for other
nubies. I can't imagine I am the only one.
Thanks,
Zak
