Gathering monthly call log data from our Altigen VoIP system.
There is some riveting excitement for you.
It's on my list to replace with something, likely FreePBX + SIP provider. Right now its connection to the PSTN is your favorite: T1

Alexa: Order me an Uber to the nearest bar.
My nearest bar has a shooting every two weeks.
Alexa: Order me a new bullet proof vest so I can go drinking.
FTFY

Just finishing a tear down of a HP laptop to address the power jack issue. Once replaced, I'll likely toss in two more GB of ram and go Linux on it... Might do some drive swapping as this thing only had a 160GB HDD in it...
Of course one of the first things I thought of, was do I really need to put it back into the chassis to use it? I mean,.. Memory and a HDD and its ready to run - who needs all the extra stuff like sound, Monitor, speakers and such. The USB is on a pig tail, so with that and the main MOBO all it needs is power..
Meh - we'll see.
Well - I think I did something horribly wrong.
It still boots normally... and I don't have any extra parts left over.... Oh may....

It's important to prioritize properly.

Why does one need a bullet proof vest only to go drinking. Why not have one just because... y'know... bullet proof vest!

Why not just drink until bulletproof?

So safe by American standards.

Bought this book last night
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1785282395/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Reading the Kindle version while the real thing comes in next week. Whatever I don't understand, I'll make sure to come here and ask the Pro's. Let's begin with UID's. Why do they need to be above 499? What is so special about UID's 499 & below?

@NerdyDad Just recently bought this and am reading it currently. Very good book imo.

Saw that one. I only had $50 from last weeks Aetherstore. So I didn't have enough to purchase everything. I am wanting to learn FOSS systems, but also work my way towards Linux System's Administrator. I figured that this was almost identical to RedHat (which is one of the mostly used servers out there) besides repo's, I would need to work with CentOS first. If I also install NextCloud onto a CentOS VM, then I would have something to work with/break/fix. Figured this book would help me learn the ins and outs of CentOS and get me to where I am wanting to go.

We have the same goal
I chose the Linux command line because Linux is the Kernal and Fedora is the OS. I wanted to start from the absolute bottom and then work my wall all the way to the top. I have a lot to learn.

Questions like this should always be a new thread. Since forking this is hard as you mixed things in the single post, can you post this as a fresh question?

did
apropospredateman -k? they seem to do the same thingside note:
man bash's output in insane. I think my final test is going to be reading it in its entirety and everything listed in it makes sense. -

apropos actually connects to whatis

@scottalanmiller thanks

You can see apropos pointing elsewhere just be listing the file...
$ ll /usr/bin/apropos lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 13 15:10 /usr/bin/apropos -> whatis*
