#5>Looking back, I can say that the knowledge and skills I gained became the basis that I still use today. It turns out that it is very useful to be alone with Linux, when you only have access to a book, man pages and source codes
This is my experience also in learning UN*X, but that was with IN/ix then Coherent probably 10 or maybe 20 years before. To me, that is the best way to learn. Coherent's book was the best I have ever seen.

Sorry but this is an important dinstinction to me because I actually know people who insist on using the Linux Console.
