Heh i just love the look of crunchbang. It makes me feel 1337 (leet) or something lol
But since its basically debian, i heard debian is nice. So i chose it.
what are "man" pages ? i see man used so much but dont know what it means or is. Im telling you i just installed and trying to learn what i will use
I was thinking of learning it for a while then compiling my own kernel, ill need to learn mainly because i intend to get into ARM9 and stuff for embedded linux and need to learn a ton before, hence the entire reason me using linux. Getting a feel for it on a working system first
Any more tips? Thanks again for that post !

-B, --ignore-backups
do not list implied entries ending with ~
-c with -lt: sort by, and show, ctime (time of last modification of file sta‐
tus information) with -l: show ctime and sort by name otherwise: sort by
ctime
-C list entries by columns
--color[=WHEN]

`auto'. More info below
-d, --directory

-f do not sort, enable -aU, disable -ls --color
-F, --classify

--file-type

-l, vertical -C
--full-time
like -l --time-style=full-iso
-g like -l, but do not list owner
--group-directories-first

augment with a --sort option, but any use of --sort=none (-U) disables
grouping
-G, --no-group
in a long listing, don't print group names
-h, --human-readable
with -l, print sizes in human readable format (e.g., 1K 234M 2G)
--si likewise, but use powers of 1000 not 1024
-H, --dereference-command-line
follow symbolic links listed on the command line
--dereference-command-line-symlink-to-dir

(-p), file-type (--file-type), classify (-F)
-i, --inode
print the index number of each file
-I, --ignore=PATTERN
do not list implied entries matching shell PATTERN
-k like --b-size=1K
-l use a long listing format
-L, --dereference
when showing file information for a symbolic link, show information for
the file the link references rather than for the link itself
-m fill width with a comma separated list of entries
-n, --numeric-uid-gid
like -l, but list numeric user and group IDs
-N, --literal
print raw entry names (don't treat e.g. control characters specially)
-o like -l, but do not list group information
-p, --indicator-style=slash
append / indicator to directories
-q, --hide-control-chars

shell-always, c, escape
-r, --reverse

-R, --recursive
list subdirectories recursively
-s, --size
print the allocated size of each file, in blocks
-S sort by file size
--sort=WORD
sort by WORD instead of name: none -U, extension -X, size -S, time -t,
version -v
--time=WORD
with -l, show time as WORD instead of modification time: atime -u, access
-u, use -u, ctime -c, or status -c; use specified time as sort key if
--sort=time
--time-style=STYLE
with -l, show times using style STYLE: full-iso, long-iso, iso, locale,
+FORMAT. FORMAT is interpreted like `date'; if FORMAT is FORMAT1<new‐
line>FORMAT2, FORMAT1 applies to non-recent files and FORMAT2 to recent
files; if STYLE is prefixed with `posix-', STYLE takes effect only outside
the POSIX locale
-t sort by modification time
-T, --tabsize=COLS
assume tab stops at each COLS instead of 8
-u with -lt: sort by, and show, access time with -l: show access time and
sort by name otherwise: sort by access time
-U do not sort; list entries in directory order
-v natural sort of (version) numbers within text
-w, --width=COLS
assume screen width instead of current value
-x list entries by lines instead of by columns
-X sort alphabetically by entry extension
-Z, --context
print any SELinux security context of each file
-1 list one file per line
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
SIZE may be (or may be an integer optionally followed by) one of following: KB
1000, K 1024, MB 1000*1000, M 1024*1024, and so on for G, T, P, E, Z, Y.
Using color to distinguish file types is disabled both by default and with
--color=never. With --color=auto, ls emits color codes only when standard output
is connected to a terminal. The LS_COLORS environment variable can change the
settings. Use the dircolors command to set it.
Exit status:
0 if OK,
1 if minor problems (e.g., cannot access subdirectory),
2 if serious trouble (e.g., cannot access command-line argument).

OMG WOW im definitely going to print that post. Tons on info and all in one placeYAY! I currently find this all fun and getting stuck on something is cool since Google is my best friend lol I used Geany before its cool. Right now i use Netbeans for gcc/g++ stuff. Its the same IDE for MPLAB X so i chose it since im familiar with it Im searching Slackware now so i can see whats its about more. Oh man just want to say thanks so much!
The funny part of linux i found so far is, when you download a new package to install, after extracting(using tar or gui) you have to ensure its set to run as application then to run it i have to ./appname
what is the "./" for? I know i have to use it otherwise i get a command not found.
Ill definitely get some Linux books too now. Thanks again and feel free to post anything else that way come to mind
Dude this is great info. I totally understand the ./ now makes tons of sense heh, Ill use it as i dont intend on editing the path just for that. its only 2 characters and helps my typing skills also
I will try to avoid the tar/zip packages but these days everything is in them heh... You say use a package manager..
Crunchbang includes Synaptic Package Manager which is pretty cool. So if im right... if i find a program on the web that looks interesting i should check to see if its there first and if so install from there if not find the tar/zip from the company site right?
I will get me one of those notebooks. I like them since they limit me unlike a binder where i will tend to stuff crap in it. They are also cheap about $1 each so i can afford itI havent found a book that cought my eye yet but im still looking. Perhaps something i can download on Amazon or something will be a good start..., (Im lazy right now and dont want to leave my house)...
Im also surprised i accomplished anything on linux at allSo much i didnt know. At first this was a windows machine, (win 7) which im using now... and i shrunk the volume by 100GB (its a 1TB drive) , then i installed linux on that 100GB portion. (i made sure i had a ton of space), Took me 3 days to figure out how to edit GRUB to boot me back into windows. Mainly because i have 3 hard drives and windows isnt on the first one. Its on the second one. on partition 2... so i had to add something weird to specify the HARDDRIVE and PARTITION windows was on. It was a hassle but i can now dual boot 100% no problem. It taught me a ton on linux like how the hard drives are named and referenced and stuff
Heh like that say one mans trash (CRAP) is another mans treasureI saw this awesome 3 pack on amazon which seems like it will get me going without having to bother you or someone else all the time... it includes
Understanding the Linux Kernel, Linux Device Drivers and Linux Kernel Development all 3rd editions heh for $97 which is a ton of cash to me but im sure will be very useful so time to save money.
I understand what you mean about the tar situation. Uninstalling can create issues if i have to do it manually... so ill try my best to stick to packages and/or learn how to create a package from a tar so i can uninstall things easy. Ill get me a few books to write in. I rather keep some things on paper mainly because im sure ill screw something up to a point where i cant access the files and poof all is lost heh. Unless i keep it on a flash drive i have here. Not sure yet but i think i might use the flash drive instead since my hand writing can confuse even me
Ok one more thing... when trying to learn all this linux stuff can i refer to it as Unix as well? Or will i run into problems? Linux is based off Unix right? I guess i should do some history research as well.
Thanks yet again for these post man you have no clue how much all of this helps. If you ever need anything just ask dude. I own AtomSoftTech.com/store as well so if you plan on getting something just tell me ill send you a nice coupon for some savings ok.
Im looking at there site now for books. That Linux in a Nutshell looks cool to start with.
Yeah with paper i can draw... hm... ill have to consider which one would be best for me or somehow merge the 2Like leave a digital note that its in BOOK1 PAGE 10 or something
