First, let it be known that I've been a cli guy for too many years. I've been running various flavors of linux since 1.x days. Mostly, though, I'd just telnet or ssh in and do what I need via cli.
Occasionally, I'd take a stab at xfree86 and I could get a fairly nice gui; but, I always want to tweak it more. X11 is a very complex system with alot of intimidating files. Yes, manpages help; but, it is always intimidating to hunt through so many files and manpages to do some small thing. I just setup a minimal potato and dist-upgrade'd to woody last weekend. Wow! Things are so much simpler to install and prettier out of the `box'! Nevertheless, I'm back to wanting to tweak and tweak. What is the best all-round resource that explains the relationships between all of those files? Is there some howto that explains the system as a whole -- *not* the 50,000 foot level of how pretty everything is -- rather, a system administrator's guide to tell me: if you want to do this goto that file and its manpage, &c. How about a website? Book? What do you think? -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
