Topic: Enlisting in the #! ranks

Hello all!

I've been "using" Linux for the past 4 years or so, since I discovered it my sophomore year of high school.
Now I am a software engineer major in college and I really want to get into the nuts and bolts of a linux system.

I started out with Ubuntu 7.10 and just kept upgrading, Played around with zenwalk and opensuse but ended up going back to the buntu. After the "Unity crisis" I switched to xubuntu and been there since. I looked up more distro's that used xfce and discovered crunchbang.  After researching it a bit more, I concluded it would be an ideal distro to help me learn the ins and outs I seek. While I like the *buntu line I feel like It is  just training wheels of the linux world. I figure if I am forced to dive into configuration files, file system, and use the command line religiously I believe It'll make me a far more competent Linux user.

So with that in mind I plan to make #! my new working OS. No more hand holding or training wheels for me.
I hope to learn a lot from you guys and maybe eventually become an asset to the community!

Thanks
Ap3jam

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.

I should warn dubois that I was once informed by one of my Marine Crops comrades that wasn't to be trusted with anything sharper than a Twinkie. Now, with the #! Dragoons, I get a horse, musket, and saber! Ha!
