Introducing myself, it's time for Linux

[BradH]

Hi Forum, just thought I'd post a quick hello and start my Linux research. I'll begin of course by looking at the tutorials and using the search functionality. Eventually, I'm sure I'll post a question.

Hello and welcome to Linux and THE FORUM!! (bum bum bum)

Hopefully you'll find what you need here. And don't be scared to ask a question! Most of us are kind, and you'll only be laughed at if it's a REALLY stupid question.

I jest. Maybe.

Anywho, welcome, and enjoy the world of Linux!

Welcome BradH and welcome!

If you are as persistent and patient with Linux as you were when you first started using Windows, you'll have it going in no time!

Welcome Brad, this is just the place for help on Linux, but no homweork questions or I will use my handy badboy program located in /sbin, in fact I'll even post the source for ya.

#include <iostream>
#include <lart.h>
#include <fstream>

int main&#40;char *argv&#91;&#93;&#41;
&#40;
    if &#40;argv&#91;1&#93; == "warn"&#41;
    &#40;
        ofstream warn;
        string path == "/home/" + argv&#91;2&#93; + "/warning";
        warn.open&#40;path&#41;;
        warn << "THIS IS A WARNING\n";
        warn << "STOP CHEATING ON SCHOOL WORK!\n";
        warn << "FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL EARN YOU A LART\n";
        warn << "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED\n";
        warn.close&#40;&#41;;
        cout << argv&#91;2&#93; << " has been warned.\n";
        cout << "use&#58; badboy lart " << argv&#91;2&#93; << ", to LART the user\n";
    &#41;
    if &#40;argv&#91;1&#93; == "lart"&#41;
    &#40;
        cout << "LARTING " << argv&#91;2&#93; << " PLEASE WAIT...\n";
        lart&#40;argv&#91;2&#93;&#41;;
        cout << "LART COMPLETE, MAYBE NOW " << argv&#91;2&#93; << " WILL LEARN A LESSON\n";
    &#41;
    if &#40;argv&#91;1&#93; == ""&#41;
    &#40;
        cout << "Use badboy -h for help\n";
    &#41;
    if &#40;argv&#91;1&#93; == "-h"
    &#40;
        cout << "BADBOY - LART AUTOMATION TOOL\n";
        cout << "badboy warn &#91;user&#93; - scold user with warning letter\n";
        cout << "badboy lart &#91;user&#93; - LART a user\n";
    &#41;
    return 0;
&#41;

Don't try to compile it with g++, you'll need liblart installed first.

Thanks for the welcome. I am trying to prep myself. Exposing myself to Linux by installing, configuring and using it.

Which distro are you looking at?

[a thing]

Welcome! You have the best attitude to learn GNU/Linux

A little page I made for newbs: http://a-thing.0nyx.com/StartingGNU-Linux.xhtml

By LART do you mean Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool?

Yea, not much else it can mean, especially considering this is a linux forum, and it is one of the most wide-spread linux/unix jokes I've ever seen.

Not sure. Thought I would do a little research first. I planned to search the forums on LFS project.

Welcome BradH. Somewhere to look while you're thinking about which distro to try is Distrowatch. I think it's an essential site.

No typos or else you'll end up at dysentery watch, and that could be confusing.
