Linux Mentor Wanted
For instance, I'm currently struggling to create an account where I can manage config files over FTP.
Is there anyone out there with some Christmas spirit that would help me out?
Cheers, Rob.

Re: Linux Mentor Wanted
What's a "VM server"?
There is a whole Linux forum, you know:

I don't know what that means. Some coherent
explanation of your actual goal(s)/problem(s)
may be needed before you can get much help
from anywhere.

As for the rest of your response, if you insist in constantly flaming me, at least make it relevant. These stupid replies are best left to COV, not here where some of us are trying to get some _real_ work done.

Re: Linux Mentor Wanted
would be pointless to mention that "I'm
currently struggling" doesn't say much about
what you did, or what happened when you did
it.)
Irregardful, if anyone else can explain what
the actual goal(s)/problem(s) here were, I'd
still be interested.

As for your more general question, forget what you know of VMS when you're learning Unix. That way lies pain and frustration. Unix is a very different beast from VMS, and your knowledge of VMS will largely detract from your efforts to learn and use Unix.

Debian has various support resources, including IRC:
http://www.debian.org/support
Learn bash or another shell. Here's a bash scripting guide:

Yes, I use both VMS and Unix. More Unix these days, but that's another discussion. And no, not Debian Linux.

Re: Linux Mentor Wanted
That fact of the matter is that I'm not really looking for individual answers to specific problems. I'm looking for someone to hand-hold me through the whole learning process.
At this point I'm sure lots of people will be screaming Books, Courses, Online Tutorials, etc, etc.
Agreed - and it's what I've been doing for a few years now. However, I'd really like to bring my capabilities up to a decent standard, and the only way I'm going to be able to do that with $0 finances is to find a virtual Mentor.
Rob.

Re: Linux Mentor Wanted
I know how I'd approach this (and am working through the roughly 32 gigabytes of training materials - reading podcasts and Stanford and other courses - that's resident on the reader, and the rest of the materials resident on the server), but that's very clearly not the path you're seeking here, and clearly not how you approach your questions.

Re: Linux Mentor Wanted
I'm glad I don't fall into that bracket. I've spent the last 5 years teaching someone in South America how to go from a HTML GUI Editor to Notepad to JavaScript to Google/Facebook API's, and beyond. I've never once spoken to or met the person, probably never will, and expect nothing in return. All that I asked is that they were happy and willing to learn something new.
I know it's only been a day, but it's such a pitty there's nobody here that seems to fit that profile.
