Apr 23, 2010I've been switched to a new department at work and am totally clueless when it comes to scripting in bash. When I told them I was a fast learner, I didn't think they'd throw me into the deep end of the pool so fast. So to make a long story short. What is a great book to start learning scripting in bash? My supervisor already gave me a simple task to do. Conceptually it sounds quite easy in my head, but actually writing out a script is a bit more daunting and complexed than I first thought.

Mar 19, 2011I'm looking for the most pure linux terminal distro. I am trying to learn linux and I have Ubunutu 10.10 installed but I feel like it's not as pure as other distros, like Ubuntu 10.10 is different from the average terminal experience.
Maybe I am wrong about this, but certain things like the grub .lst file is now a .cfg file in Ubuntu, is this replicated across all linux, or is this unique to Ubuntu? Little things like this that make it difficult to learn. Are all the distros unique in this way?

Oct 28, 2010I'm cross-posting in order to get as a wider audience to get as much feedback as possible. I am currently studying to learn the ) Gidhlig (Scottish Gaelic language and finding studying by rote out of a book a bit 'limiting'. Because of this, I am thinking about creating a software project which could act as an interactive way to helping me learn the language. I've got a few ideas floating in my head but the direction I want to take is that the software is not an alternative but an aid to be used in conjunction with traditional studying materials. I was thinking possibly small interactive games or exercises that both are fun as well as to test and use the parts of language I have learned. There might also be a bit of reporting to show strengths and weaknesses.
Firstly, the technical specifications, that offhand, I can think of that the project will need to meet:
1. Cross-platform (while I would like it to be just Linux, I have to be realistic that people would rather use Windows)
2. The language data is separate from main program so that the software can be used with other languages.
3. Not too complex so that it is quick and easy to program as I will be doing it myself.........
General :: Distro Better For LEARNING Security Skills?
Jun 27, 2010I currently run Ubuntu 10.04 alongside Vista. I have been looking for a few linux projects to help me learn, the two that I have thought of have been:
1. LFS
2. Something security related
As for no.2, I am interested in learning about network security, intrusion detection, system logging, firewall logging etc. And as a project I would like to work on creating a desktop box as secure as possible, then maybe testing my own box on my home network.
1. Is there a good linux distro that is designed for security?I know people often say "the distro doesn't matter, it only matters how you configure it.
2. Does everyone agree with this? As far as security, learning, etc, are all distros created equally?

Has anybody tried?

Feb 10, 2011Going through book, "Guide to UNIX Using Linux". I am doing one of the projects that has me writing scripts to join files. Here is my pnumname script and I am extracting the programmers names and numbers from the program file and redirecting the output to the file pnn. I then created a joinall script where I am trying to join the files pnn and pnumname and redirect the output to pactrep. When I run the script sh joinall and use less to display the contents of the redirected file pactrep, I get an error- join: extra operand `pnum'
Try `join --help' for more information.... I went to the man pages but I still (obvious) do not have a solid grasp.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Pointers To Learning Scripting?
Apr 25, 2011I have a project for my computer class, and I was a bit ambitious with my ideas and am wondering if I made a smart choice. I need to learn sooner or later anyway! I'm a beginner when it comes to scripting but I'd like to learn more advanced stuff. When I say basic I really mean basic among all basic. To give you an idea I only know some simple HTML and Python. The idea I proposed for my project goes as follows:
The challenge we were given is to create a spreadsheet of data from a website given to us. Points are given for creativity and simplicity in how we go about doing this.After taking a look at the site (or rather, html files given to us), and with having dabbled with Python before, I came up with what I thought was a pretty good idea.The pages of the "site" are just numbers. They go from 001-117 .html in terms of filenames. Their source code has some sort of table set up, and the information we are pulling off are easily found by the tags that precede them (the info, btw are the periodic elements).
The tags are pretty obvious, and state pretty much what they are labeling. My python knowledge is almost nonexistent but I figured that would be something Python would be capable of. Why do I post this here? I'm relatively new to Ubuntu too but keep hearing about bash scripts and such. Would this be even better? (Perhaps it's silly but I'd like to use Ubuntu to accomplish this)
Or is there an even better scripting method/language I should be using? Could anyone give me some pointers in how I could accomplish this? I'm really hoping to learn a lot from my first "real" scripting experience!

Programming :: Learning LibUSB From C Code
Oct 1, 2010I'm trying to learn how to use USB from c code. Rather trying kernel stuff I thought I'd (after some searching ) use libusb. So I searched for documentation, unfortunately I came across two sets of documents each with it's own API?
