Linux introductiom

[Chuck1]

Where can I get a guide to Linux. The programing stuff. Like this

02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)
02:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)

I have no idea what it is but would like to know!! (and understand it)

try this http://www.linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php BTW the code you have quoted is an output of a command issued in the terminal to list the network devices

That looks like output from dmesg or lspci more likely.

Look at Python if you want to start learn programming.

edit: and what smiley_lauf said.

Thanx guys.This is the first forum that I have found where people are actually willing to help you and have the patiance to help someone like me (total noob).

Listen Chucky, have you tried ubuntuforums.org? You will find that most of what we ask here has been answered in that vibrant forum. and about your comment..that's what ubuntu stands for... ;-)

I am going to use Linux full time. No windows for me hehe. Is it worth learning how to write shell scripts? I downloaded a couple of pages that teaches one how to write it and play around with it. t this site http://www.linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
