Open arwer13 opened 8 years ago

arwer13 commented 8 years ago

Here are some small topics I've thought about

[ ] filesystem hierarchy
[ ] main configuration files (/etc)
[ ] bash basics
[ ] package manager
[ ] mounting
[ ] basic command line utilities
[ ] Window Manager, Display Manager, Desktop Environments

All useful. I know the basics but have a lot to learn. I finally got my chroot working on my Chromebook; it is running Ubuntu with XFCE.

Some important stuff I don't understand with Linux: (1) when I install software with a package manager like apt-get, brew, easy-install, and pip, where do these programs get installed? How can I remove them? Is all this software safe? (2) when I clone a git repo, how do I turn it into usable software? (3) can I use symbolic links to mirror folders to the cloud?

I'm also interested in practical uses of WGET, CURL, awk, sed, grep, find, and shell scripting. I like automating tasks.

Here are answers on these questions https://github.com/arwer13/compsci/blob/linux_fs_and_packaging/linux.md

Would you, please, specify what do you consider by safe / unsafe in case you'd like to get more detailed explanation.
