Re: [Scottish] New to the group...

Spend time reading -- www.linuxtoday.org --- www.inuxjournal.org --- and 
as many Linux web sites as you can find for the first few weeks, this 
will give you a good understanding of the culture you want to be 
involved in. Decide what takes your fancy for programming (languages) 
and start looking at other people code. An easy option is to go with 
'python' language for a start. -- www.python.org --
Once you have a grasp of coding join an opensource project and help 
debug the code to gain experience. By this time you will have a better 
understanding of yourself. And at that point you will be able to make 
some rational decisions.

Read and read and read and have  *FUN*

Steve
