Thanks for Every Day Linux User!

http://www.everydaylinuxuser.com/ has been one of the most helpful and active sites this past year, and I've appreciated reading the well-written articles from Gary Newell this year.

It's interesting, Gary often credits Jim Lynch, author of his own blog at http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/ and his forum at http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/forum/index.php?webtag=DLRFORUM.  I've seen Jim do the same, crediting Gary for some really good articles.  I agree; both have articles worth reading, and I have both on my regular reading list.

Ah, neat site Brian, thanks for the link it looks like a useful resource!

Heh, this past week I've learned some things that should have come as super simple "duh" type of things, like how to get back to the terminal from a file diff (hit "q" haha, of course!). I wish there was a common sense sort of guide for those types of things when using the terminal (or SSH) that Linux users should know.

There was also... for some reason when prompted a y/n question, I was not able to get past it because any character i typed had the carrot preceeding it. I'm not sure why that happened when it did not happen for any other prompts... but holding down CTRL and the y key let just the character appear and I was able to proceed. In both instances once i figured it out i felt so stupid but at least i learned for next time! hehe.
