Here's the best way to learn UNIX/linux:

Go get a computer and install it and start playing. Once you have some basics you can start some more advanced configurations. Then start breaking things on purpose to learn how to fix things!

To get you going you can use any/all of the documentation on millions of web pages!!! I personally started with FreeBSD using online documentation. Once you learn one UNIX you should have a solid base for any other and be able to adapt quickly/easily. 🙂

What message you want to convey here? I think here most of members are the same, 40-50% of our members belong to 3rd world countries, like South Asia and Africa but we are all same on this board. There is no difference. We all are learners, you can post your questions and our members will be more than happy to answer your queries.

Regards,  
Tayyab

Shereen,

I agree with Tayyab.

Agreed! That's the really the best way to learn. Pick up an older PC, download an ISO of linux, or freebsd, install the OS. Download some documentation from the web, and start learning on your own. I recommend [www.tldp.org](http://www.tldp.org) for some great Linux documentation. That's really the best way to learn Linux is from self-study, practice, trial-and-error, etc. Pretty soon, you'll be writting scripts, and finding ways to automate tasks, and do some really cool things with linux/unix. Good luck.

Take it easy, man. I do not like rating countries that way either, but do not take it as an offense. It's not. This is the UNIX forum, not the where-are-you-from forum. That's not important. As Tayyab himself says,
