Pure Linux Text File

This site was created due to pure frustration with Microsoft Windows.
I hated Visual Basic.

Way back in my Linux history, I wanted to train (I am a medical teacher and keeping medical records safe and secure was my original intention, then) 100 Ceylonese guys (no girls at all) or introduce Linux and Free Software to 100 guys.

It was a TOTAL failure.

My attempt in a open public meeting was scuttled by Microsoft by bribing the guy who organized the bonanza for Microsoft.

Me the vagabond, went into overdrive, here I am still promoting Linux.

That little incident Microsoft should regret.

I became Linux addict and Linux advocate.

A lawful act of benevolence.

(please note that I have used the words that follow to test the digital dictionary. I hate the cellphone keyboard and tried using many but none satisfy my needs.
I love the touch of keys of a standard keyboard and cut and paste of Microsoft, I despise.

I always use simple instructional English.
I call it academic English.

The computer language bores me to death and one finger typing on a digital keyboard is painful to my index finger digit).

I have stated the above comments about Microsoft for over thousand times, I do not HATE  Window Users but I only PITY, them.

Satire is in my genes and that genomic piece in my genetic code has kept my head above water for so long.

Lot of American and British guys, lately Ukrainians do not have backbone to resist subtle and deliberate insinuation by USA/CIA.

Freedom, I value and Linux gave me that freedom.

I am glad after many years in the doldrums Linux has woken up to take Windows head on and Windows guys have found Linux Python utility as an escape route.

This piece is to make the statement that YouTube is useful for advertisement and it increases the coffers to Google.

Text book and text file is the sure way of learning Linux.

All Linux is a grand text file and python 3 plus integrates it.

By the way, some of these utilities are coming from Free BSD.

The best server utility, if you care to learn is BSD.

Decade ago I promoted BSD one always  need an Internet connection to use BSD.
No text books.

In retirement, to save money,  I only use a Dongle to access Internet.

Dialog is my favorite even though it costs me one Rupee per MB.

I have about 8 SIMs to do various jobs.

I uploaded Rs1500/= to HUTCH and that money is not credited to my account. That SIM is in my mobile wifi I carry it with me "on the go".

When I visit them eventually, I will blast the Ceylonese receptionist, all the same.
That works in Ceylon.
This is why I hate Chinese.
They (Chinese) provide service but the customer service is hopeless.

Do not use Hutch.

Chinese are hopeless in English.

But if I lose the receipt that job is undone.

So always ask for a receipt.
That makes it legal.

Now if you want to learn Linux file hierarchy, please use Debian.

The directories (folders in windows) in Linux are

/root
/boot
/home
/etc
/var
/tmp

Then apart from su one should learn to use # dollar sign £ pound sign
. a dot precedes every file and it is not visible by default.

ls
User
Dir
Bin
Bin has all the utilities
Password and thousand more code words.

Learning 10 to 20 is not enough to be a instant Guru.

10 commands are not enough and all are in simple letters, never capitals.

ViM has better functionality than python.

There are many more text editors from simple to advance.

One should start with a simple text editor and graduate upward.

That is how I did it without a proper Guru but all are forgotten now with a cellphone in hand.

Latex has gone into oblivion.

Vade Mecum is my bone fides.

Demise of our dog put me off from the Internet for two years.

I am back again but has forgotten all commands due to lack of use.

Buy the Linux book for details.....

Read it's chapters on Shell (they vary according to the distribution) and Administrative Tools.

That is the entry point to Linux.

In this site I only promote
Knoppix
Debian
Emmabantus
Ubuntu
Magia
PCLinux
The rest including Arch and Mint I never used.

But over the years I have made an entry of over 100 distributions here.

They are outdated but one is free to browse them.

There are 20 to 30 visitors daily.

To keep them amused I have liberal pieces of local satire and global academic stuff.

But I am going back to writing books and then I am totally absorbed on what I am writing and unavailable.

This Blog site is to let my Steam Out and with hopeless coordination in old age, no Steam Games except Digital Bridge.
