I am not Unix.
August 4th, 2008I am coming to believe that Unix is not something you learn, but something you ARE. No, no one actually said this to me, but in an attempt to follow the oh-so specific instructions of "In your free time, start learning Unix", that’s really all I’ve learned.
I’ve tapped my sources and asked around for a place to start. Give me a link to a basics guide, I’ve asked, and no one can seem to do this. They want to help and show willing, but when it comes to actual documentation or sources, it’s all… "Well, what exactly do they want you to do?"
The problem is that what they want is "In your free time, start learning Unix."
It’s like to make me cry. I don’t understand it and I have no idea where to go to get an explanation other than "want me to stand there and tell you what to do?" Well, yeah, I do. If it will help. And to top it all off, I left my "For Dummies" book at home.
I can’t remember feeling more stupid.
I am not Unix. At all.
::sigh:: Sounds like many moments I have had while working with engineers.
