Why? I reboot the desktop for kernel updates primarily. My laptop
dual-boots, so you can't blame the system(s) for the frequency on that
machine.

There are some bash programming texts on the 'Net. One humongous
one is "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide" by Mendel Cooper (About 700 pages
altogether!) and there is an O'Reilly freebie, "bash Pocket Reference" by
Arnold Robbins. (At least I think it was free--if not, it's very cheap.)

An excellent command reference is another O'Reilly book that you'll have
to buy--"Linux in a Nutshell--A Desktop Quick Reference" by Siever,
Figgins,
Love and Robbins. It's been published in successive editions since 1997;
I have the sixth edition of 2009. This is a real paper book, 900 pages.
It's the best $50 I ever spent on Linux! I use it at least once a week.

If you could find an old RedHat or SuSE Linux manual (or pair) from around
2000 or earlier, before everything got GUI-fied, there was some useful
stuff there
that is not so easy to locate anymore. If there's a nearby Linux club,
somebody
may have one they might give you. I seem to have lost mine.

Heh, after they squashed system-v, half of what is in those old RedHat
manuals is deader than a doornail. I miss the old days. I had 20 users
telneted into our MUD on a 486 with 32 megs of memory, no sweat. You were a
weenie if you actually rebooted. I reboot more frequently now that I did
with Win3.1

Ric

Why? I reboot the desktop for kernel updates primarily. My laptop
dual-boots, so you can't blame the system(s) for the frequency on that
machine.

Back in the day, you could just init 1 then init 5 and save having to do
the reboot. Remember?? heh, then you could proudly post your uptime in
months, or in a few cases years, instead of days. Ric
