So you are saying that charity work should protect one from the consequences of bad behavior.
I think so..... In a world where everyone says insensitive things and barely anyone raises money for charity this is just. Actions speak louder than words my friend.
Have you ever installed Gentoo? You need to read a book to do it (the Handbook). It also gives you a good idea of what goes into the programs you use because it compiles them all bottom up.
I agree though. Nothing beats reading... My latest are 'Pattern Oriented Software Architecture' and 'C++ Network Programming'. Both related and both awesome.
Installing Gentoo is a fantastic idea. You should also look at the documentation with Gentoo and Debian. They are gold.
If you know some C++ get a copy of Lippman's 'C++ Primer' and the Josuttis book on the Standard Library. The first is definitely not a primer. Also, try picking up some books on programming posix if you want to do Linux... Learn some vi and install Eclipse for programming. Some knowlege of subversion is good as well.
Now the hard part... This is a test of personality... Are you a Python person or a Perl person? Look over both a little, you should be able to tell which type of person you are right away. (for me it's python)
Hope this Helps
