I have been using Linux as my daily driver for quite some time (around 5-6 years) and usually manage to get whatever needs to be done. However, I now wish to learn it in a more structured manner, which includes understanding utilities and the workings of Linux. What resources should I look out for?

    Now that I think about it, I believe Slackware actually uses a BSD style init if you want to try and bridge the gap. It’s been eons since I used it so not 100% sure

      I have my reasona for using FreeBSD, the system I’m using is ancient, about 20 years old. Its a decommissioned corpo unit, HP/Compaq DC5700S with 2 gigs of RAM and a dog slow Celeron D processor. I’m actually compiling a custom kernel right now to match my hardware because I’m severely limited on RAM and in true UNIX fashion it needs to only be doing what I tell it to, and not a damn thing more.

        Won’t hear me knocking it. Stellar OS. I just wish Linux compatibility was a smidge better. There’s still a handful of programs that don’t run well.
