    Greetings

    Hi all,
    I have to call myself an Old-noob.

    I have been fiddling around with Linux for years and built a few boxes.
    It has been a frustrating experience at points.

    More often than not I invested hours building a system only to find some major deal breaker where the machine is unusable for the purpose designed. I have only built systems on older machines because those are what's available to me. But to be fair I thought that was one of the calls of Linux.

    Anyway, I am chalking it up to holes in my knowledge and giving it another stab.
    So here we go.

    To be fair I am am fairly savvy for a noob, I worked as an admin for a large installation of macs (mixed network with PCs) and ran the Mac OSX server, So i do know a little and am comfortable at the command line.

    Hello, and welcome to Linux Forums!

    I found having a specific purpose for my Linux box helped in my learning. For me it was MythTV. It required not only learning terminal commands, but device drivers, firmware, compiling, etc.
