      Alexa: Order me an Uber to the nearest bar.

      My nearest bar has a shooting every two weeks.

      Alexa: Order me a new bullet proof vest.

      It's important to prioritize properly.

      Agreed!

      Alexa: Order me a new bullet proof vest so I can go drinking.

      FTFY

      Why does one need a bullet proof vest only to go drinking. Why not have one just because... y'know... bullet proof vest!

        Why not just drink until bulletproof?

              Bought this book last night

              https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1785282395/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

              Reading the Kindle version while the real thing comes in next week. Whatever I don't understand, I'll make sure to come here and ask the Pro's. Let's begin with UID's. Why do they need to be above 499? What is so special about UID's 499 & below?

                @NerdyDad Just recently bought this and am reading it currently. Very good book imo.

                  Saw that one. I only had $50 from last weeks Aetherstore. So I didn't have enough to purchase everything. I am wanting to learn FOSS systems, but also work my way towards Linux System's Administrator. I figured that this was almost identical to RedHat (which is one of the mostly used servers out there) besides repo's, I would need to work with CentOS first. If I also install NextCloud onto a CentOS VM, then I would have something to work with/break/fix. Figured this book would help me learn the ins and outs of CentOS and get me to where I am wanting to go.

                    We have the same goal 😄

                    I chose the Linux command line because Linux is the Kernal and Fedora is the OS. I wanted to start from the absolute bottom and then work my wall all the way to the top. I have a lot to learn.

                      Questions like this should always be a new thread. Since forking this is hard as you mixed things in the single post, can you post this as a fresh question?

                            did apropos predate man -k? they seem to do the same thing

                            side note: man bash's output in insane. I think my final test is going to be reading it in its entirety and everything listed in it makes sense.

                              Yes, in a way, man -k is an alias to apropos.

                                    You can see apropos pointing elsewhere just be listing the file...

                                    $ ll /usr/bin/apropos 
                                    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 13 15:10 /usr/bin/apropos -> whatis*

                                      Keeping my fingers crossed that all the work I did in putting drainage tile around my house will work and take the water away from my basement. Basement flooded in the the Christmas Floods of 2015...so far so good.....

                                        Still in the office. It's late here and a holiday but I'm not alone so I guess that I'm okay.

                                          Long day of talking in circles to folks will do that to you! 😄

                                          At least you're not alone. @KOOLER or @Stuka around to keep you company?

                                            @stuka left long ago. @kooler did too, actually, but he literally just walked back in a few minutes ago.
