And that is what happens when you are stuck home sick for 4 days.
that's why I first installed gentoo true story
I might be a Mint user, but my computer knowledge in general is about a 7. Linux knowledge, about a 4 to 5.
With Linux, I can:
Compile my own kernel, and apply patches.
Compile applications with very little error.
Remaster an Ubuntu/Mint distro.
Modify themes to my will.
Write my own Conky config.
Install Linux in text mode.
Partition and setup a dual-boot system flawlessly.
Create an FTP server in Lubuntu.
Fsck my offline drives via LiveCD or CLI.
Install apps and other software in the Terminal.
Create a bootable flashdrive with or without Unetbootin.
Install Solaris 10 in VirtualBox.
Flashed my Wireless routers (WRT54G v6, v2, and v8.0) with DDWRT v24 SP1, Mini and Generic.
Use LiveCDs to save files from a fucked up Windows machine before formatting and reinstalling Windows.
Knows the benefits on having [b]/Home[/b] in it's own partition.
Successfully built a Hackintosh with Ubuntu on dual-boot.
Built a working Wireless router/Firewall using an old 466MHz Celeron machine with 64MB RAM, and running m0n0wall. (Built it two years ago, and still using it today)
Installed YellowDog, Ubuntu, CentOS, and Fedora on my PS3. (Still running Firmware 3.15 on my PHAT 40GB PS3)
My first computer was a Commodore 64. Then I got into using an Apple IIe, but it seemed like a step backwards to me. Then we got a color Mac. Then next computer we got was an IBM clone, 386SX, a 25MHz beast. It had Windows 3.11, and kicked ass. We then got the 466MHz celeron that I later turned into a router/firewall, it had Win 98 on it originally. Our next machine was an 800MHz Pentium III with Windows 2000. Then an Athlon XP 3800+ With XP, built from parts ourselves. I then built my first PC, a Northwood Pentium4 with HT, @ 2.6GHz with Windows XP Pro. Used XP until Vista came out. Hated Vista, went back to XP until 7 came out. Used Ubuntu 7.04 and Mint just before Vista came out. Been a fan since, and use Mint as my primary OS daily. Only use Windows for gaming on Steam, Photoshop projects, Blu-ray encoding tools I use, iPhone/iPod restoration/jailbreaking, and the occasional app that won't work under Wine. I can't get my family members to use Linux, they hate trying new things, but whatever... their loss. :)
3, i'd say.
I've taken a course in unix, use Arch mainly on my desktop and gotten familiar with the various configuration files, use the terminal for maintenance tasks, etc, etc.
Been using Gentoo for some time now, and Arch for waay longer (I'm sticking with Gentoo ever since I first started using it)
I can:
Compile and configure my own kernel and patch it (if needed)
Set up an entire Linux OS from "scratch" (the Gentoo way)
Compile my own base system
Troubleshoot hardware and software errors offline, using the basic tools available from GNU.
I've set up both FTP, HTTP and other types of servers over the years.
I can do things very very fast with a terminal (and maybe screen added onto that)
i'd say about 4 or maybe even a 5.
Well, I've been working on my Own Debian Based OS for a few months now, It's guiless because it's made to be a server OS, It uses APT-Get on Debians Repo, I've also been minimizing it and integrating server modules into it like Apache and nginx, So, I'd say 9.
Actually, Change that, All I'm doing is integrating some modules in a CLI Debian, So pretty much 7.
about a 6, since everyone with any experience with Linux seems to be picking a modest 6 :v: I've been using it for yeeears, since the first Knoppix live-CD.
Constantly going through Gentoo, Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, plus Slackware at one point.
Being forced to use Solaris boxes for work here at uni. Spent two summers installing debian onto a HPC server cluster for another uni (It's pretty cool having 20x80gb drives set up in a kind of network RAID).
Ran a dedicated server for a while with my own custom-built web management software (I was running webhosting on it - nginx+php-fpm didn't have a nice web-panel for my customers). Then moved onto running VPSes (again, webpanel, service based on QEMU-KVM). So I'm pretty good with Perl and bash now.
Spending ages learning about the kernel; currently compiling a nice zenkernel optimised for atom netbooks (might even start releasing it? It's fast and nicer on battery life).
That said, I still haven't mastered sed, awk, or how to use vi properly :v:

Good to see someone else started off with a knoppix Live CD
[QUOTE=wingless;26264307]Good to see someone else started off with a knoppix Live CD[/QUOTE]
When I first used Knoppix I didn't even have the slightest clue it had anything to do with Linux. But that might be because I didn't know what Linux was back in the day.
I'm about a 4.
I can customize my sources.list and pretty much any other config file.
I can compile programs. I flashed my iPhone with openiBoot manually using terminal.
Also I'm writing a lightweight scripting language and the interpreter works on linux. :snoop:
~6 I guess...
Use arch, pretty much all the time on my Desktop and Netbook. Servers I run use Debian/CentOS.

We had to install XP and "Ubunto" in tech. It was terrible because we were using "grave-yard" computers, as she called it, that barely would boot, and had to go through about 5 before finding a working one.
And then it was a shared classroom, so someone in the next block kept undoing my ram :saddowns:
I've used Ubuntu at home for a while, though. Thinking about switching to a different one, soon.
5, I use it for some spam filtering, and back end critical app server, other than that windows does the rest
Maybe a 2 or maybe 3. I'm still pretty new to it. I'm familiar with basic terminal commands and functions and set up a Ubuntu file server with 580 GB of storage across a couple hard drives that are shared over SMB and FTP. I've had to set it up twice because I got a different computer to act as a server about 2 weeks into using it.
I am far from an expert though.
I'm probably a 3... 4, at best :smith:
Right now I'm reading some Python and Bash books--actually, in my spare time, which isn't a lot :/
This thread doesn't work because everyone has their own metric of what is 1 and 10.
Indeed. OP should add a chart. :words:
Chart would be helpful.
I think I'm a 2. I can install linux distros, use terminal, install packages and edit .confs and start/kill processes.

Yet someone who only installed it on a PC says he has a 4.

dude i installed ubuntu i am linux gawd praise me suck my torvalds you mortals.
I dunno what I should say, 5? I've used Ubuntu, Debian and Arch, can probably write most of my config files, am able to write shell scripts to do shit I need to do.
Also I can use pacman :v:
6-7.
I've been using Linux itself for about 2 and a bit years, various distributions.
Maybe... 7/8?
My dad taught me the ways of Lunix about seven years ago, when I was 10. My first distro was ZipSlack, installed from scratch. Configuring X was annoying as hell back then :ohdear:
I've also used Gentoo for couple years until I recently switched to Arch.
I'm a 1 at the highest. I had ubuntu for a few months, switched back to windows when I built my new computer. I hated wine so much.

A 7/8 and you can't even spell Linux correctly?

No, he uses Lunix, which is a hacker operating system created by Russians.

[quote]6. Does your son use Quake?
Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.
If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school.[/quote]
