Hmmm...seems a little daunting, but that's the level of skill and knowledge needed to *really* master Linux. knowledge of the CLI is key, it would seem.
Which (for me) begs the question: How *does* one really become proficient in Linux?
I can install $Distribution on a spare machine and tinker with basic this and that. Beyond that, what else?
I am at a loss with a cohesive direction. There are places (locally) where I can take classes on Linux from beginner to "advanced". However, none of the Linux users I know ever took a class; they just seem to "know".
I'm probably over-simplifying, but I really want to dive into it and really understand it -- but I'm at a loss for any real direction.
"The "anyone is replaceable" mentality is, IMO, one of the most organizationally destructive in America."
i work for a large cable company, and that is the prevailing attitude here. those of us who have been here for longer than a few months are frustrated at how management doesn't seem to see any inherent value in the tenured employees. they have no qualms about moving the billing monkeys into high speed support. and they wonder why we're all burned out.

can you recommend any good books on the topic?

exactly. we offer mcafee "security" to our customers as a free download.
day after day, i get calls about "i've got mcafee on my computer..."
yeah, about that...
"put this man in Cell #2 and give him a drink!"
"what do you drink?"
"i don't care!"
we could just nuke each other now instead of going down the path of slow, painful, and inevitable starvation and war.
blah.
break out the N2 bombs

"...in addition to your occupation as a spoon.."
"spool."
"right, 'spoon' doesn't make much sense."
i can't decide if that sounds tasty or disgusting. /paging Dr. Mephisto
i'm a little saddened that you were the only one who seems to have gotten it.
a little surprising for /.
i'm not a long-time Slashdotter, so i can't really comment on whether or not the environment here has changed.
what?
would you mind re-wording that a little; or at least using some punctuation?
wolves, chickens, and all that
exactly.
thanks for the good info. i am also a SH junkie, and will probably play it just to have played it.
i have the OST for SH4 in my car cd player right now.
thanks for the heads up.
right.
the soundtrack isn't bad, though.
what did you think of SH4? i have yet to finish it.
that said, has anyone here played Silent Hill 5?
if so, how was it?
Curse my lack of mod points!

the unofficial company motto: "it is what it is."
yeah, and i bet they're all posted in yEnc, too...
Painkiller was excellent, and a truly underrated game.
I'm surprised that I'm the only only one of my friends to have played it.
you're right, my Linux proficiency is anything but.
i am learning, though!
and i've fucked several, but am lacking in Linux proficiency...
exactly. the whole "real music" snobbery is just asinine. i don't hear people complaining about the Who or Pink Floyd for using synths.
