Oh, boy!
Tonight my head is spinning -- not just from a pollen-induced headache, but with unfamiliar and semi-familiar concepts and terminology. Today was the first day of my first course in the University of Arizona School of Information Resources and Library Science Digital Information Management Graduate Certification Program, Introduction to Applied Technology (nevermind that it is second in numerical order; this is the first course).
I think I was fine until I decided to read chapter one of Linux Administration Handbook (Nemeth, Snyder, & Hein, 2006; 2000). Linux, UNIX, and GNU (among others) are familiar words, yes, but I've been using Microsoft products since 1996, at least. So knowing the words was about the extent of it.
Still, even with Microsoft, and before Windows, there was DOS -- which I loved. There's nothing like a command line to put one in, well, command!
Today, the OSes; tomorrow, VMs & distros!
