I highly recommend getting dirty with Linux From Scratch. I did it several years ago, and it helped me understand gcc, the kernel, glibc (userland access to the kernel) the shell, how to chroot and its purpose, etc.
It's worth the hours to get a good understanding. It may or may not help with a certification. Though it seems this may not matter here. herlo On Sat, Mar 24, 2018, 19:49 AJ ONeal (Home) <[email protected]> wrote: > I was able to do an advanced search on Amazon by year and discover what I > think are the books that I bought (just recording this for history's sake). > > I'm pretty sure one of them was Running Linux 5th Edition by O'Reilly > (unfortunately > there is modern edition). > > https://www.amazon.com/Running-Linux-Matthias-Kalle-Dalheimer/dp/B00CVDY3CA/ > Something about that seeing that picture just filled me with a warm emotion > - this must have been the one I loved reading so much. > > And I distinctly remember a lighthouse and I bought it either late 2004 or > early 2005 so the other would have been one of these by Sybex: > https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Study-Guide-3rd-XKO-002/dp/078214389X/ > https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Study-Guide-Exaam-XK0-001/dp/0782143121/ > > AJ ONeal > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
