Alexa: Order me an Uber to the nearest bar.
My nearest bar has a shooting every two weeks.
So safe by American standards.
Boring by Chicago 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?

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* -
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.

Long day of talking in circles to folks will do that to you!
At least you're not alone. @KOOLER or @Stuka around to keep you company?

@stuka left long ago. @kooler did too, actually, but he literally just walked back in a few minutes ago.

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

@scottalanmiller How would he even have access to his competitor's emails? Is he hosting them?
