How to Become a Linux Guru
Software is one of the most poorly taught topics on the planet.
Get a civil engineer, and he or she will know all about roads, concrete and steel. Get a mechanical engineer, and he will know all about locks, hinges, pistons and pulleys. Get a software engineer and she might not even know what language you're programming in. There is little agreement as to what a software engineer should know — even about what a software engineer is.
It's an observed fact that some people are good with computers, and other people aren't. We call the good ones gurus and the rest users.
How do you tell the difference? A guru is the one who can solve unexpected problems, come up with comprehensive solutions, and get the darned computer working the way you want it to work. A user can not. It's the kind of thing that's easy to see, but hard to explain.
But the guru you seek in times of computer trouble started out just as you did, with no formal training in the Linux operating system or software. How, then, does the guru manage to tame the information wilderness of the computer? Why is it that he or she knows what you don't?

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
