Hi
I have been using linux since 2000. Earlier it was only Slackware but now I am quadruple booting my machine with Win XP(my brother uses this) FC3(primary distro-full install) Debian 3.1(25/4/05 build-base install will add packages as and when needed) Slackware 10.1(without KDE or Gnome but with XFCE and fluxbox but usage will be more of CLI
The basic purpose of doing this was to get a taste of 3 major distributions.
Everything is running fine but now what
Also I want to learn programming and basic userlevel CLI tasks even maybe text editing in vi/vimor emacs.
I dont know from where to start. May be a book on programming etc.I want to use linux installed on my Pc for some learning purpose. Earlier when I was new to Linux setting it up and using Linux for playing music/video/surfing were only the primary tasks I did.
Any suggestions
Thanks and Regards Ninad

ahh - do you realise that you are in a minority? most ppl never reach this stage, as there are always new distros to try, updates to make, patches to stitch and mailing lists and chatrooms in which to gloat!
I would suggest learning a scripting language like python or ruby and joining an open source programming project. Got to python.org or ruby.org for learning materials and go to the 'help wanted' section of sourceforge.net to find a project to join.
