So I'm thinking he's going to have a rough time of it. I hate to use the word, but as you all know, Linux/UNIX and Windows have completely different paradigms on many levels. He's going to have to learn a new philosophy as well as new concepts and commands.
If its philosophy you're after rather than operations: https://cs.senecac.on.ca/~gfeil/power/Week.2/Unix%20Philosophy.html "The UNIX Philosophy" Mike Gancarz ISBN 1-55558-123-4 http://www.linuxpro.ca/files/art_of_unix_programming.pdf Also "The Unix Programming Environment" Not that I expect sysadmins to be programmers (except for one line shell shell script) but the philosophy of UNIX is in there. And of course http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy -- Two novels can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other involves orcs. - David C Frier, 03/27/2009 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
