My nearest bar has a shooting every two weeks. Alexa: Order me a new bullet proof vest. It's important to prioritize properly. Agreed! @RojoLoco said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @dafyre said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @Grey said in What Are You Doing Right Now: @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now: 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 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?

 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?

Very good book imo. https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Line-Complete-Introduction/dp/1593273894 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.

 @NerdyDad said in What Are You Doing Right Now: also work my way towards Linux System's Administrator 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.

Let's begin with UID's. Why do they need to be above 499? What is so special about UID's 499 & below? 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.

 @wirestyle22 said in What Are You Doing Right Now: did apropospredateman -k? they seem to do the same thingYes, in a way, man -k is an alias to apropos.

 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*

 Keeping my fingers crossed that all the work I did in putting drainage tile around my house will work and take the water away from my basement. Basement flooded in the the Christmas Floods of 2015...so far so good.....

 Still in the office. It's late here and a holiday but I'm not alone so I guess that I'm okay.

 He says that he doesn't want to be big brother, but it sounds exactly like he wants to be big brother.
