How do you know so much about Ubuntu?

[corrytonapple]

I see so many posts getting solved every day by you guys. How did you learn so much about Ubuntu? The terminal must have thousands of codes that are usable. Do you have a file with all these codes? Just interested in how you guys/girls know so much.
Thanks

By rubbing your feet together and saying "give me Linux knowledge!"

All knowledge is already within us. The feet is where the soul connects with the earth, so if you rub your feet together and then rest them on top of the power source of your PC, the knowledge should come streaming into you.


Honestly, I dont know that much. I am just barely starting to feel like less of a noob and I can help people with the basics of installation.

just experience with it and systems like it. there are folks here with decades of unix experience under their belts, or who have been working with linux since '91.

it also depends on your general level of experience in IT/IS. if you've worked as an admin or developer on any platform for any real period of time, you learn how to learn about technology. learning the first language takes months or years, whereas learning your 5th language takes days or weeks. once you have the basics down, it's just delta delta delta

It just comes over time from using it. You try to do something → Figure out how to do it → Remember that when someone asks how to do that thing. Rinse and repeat.

thats exactly what i tell myself!

I cant even begin to list links to the mounds of information there are out there. I say read all the sticky threads, ubuntu documetation, and somewhere in the forums is a thread liking to a website that has links to 20 free books for linux. And you just have to apply the knowledge you find everyday. I still have too much to learn myself.

Honestly i need to check out my local community college and see if they are offering any classes on linux.

start with opening terminal and typing man man

I don't know much about windows. Been a mac person for a while. (3 years now)In fact, that's what gave me my username.

Right now I'm trying to help newbies that have threads with no posts.

Reading the forums, experimenting with the system, following how-to guides on other websites. Nothing more then what I've done with any other OS I've ever used.
