I would say start with some basic Unix Commands/Concepts, (directories, basic commands,
editors, etc.) Once you know some basics, you can apply it to lots of different
operating systems.

An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is like MS Office. One can
have separate word processing, spreadsheet. presentation, and e-mail
client applications -- but 'office suites' integrate them all together,

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out a bizarre problem with Redhat 7 and
hope someone can offer some guidance. I originally installed Redhat 7 from
