I have an intermediate baseline experience with the Linux OS/features and functions in general. That is I understand commands like cat/grep etc and know what a BASH shell is.
I am a software developer by trade (Win OS but I understand Programming language concepts) so I am familiar with code files etc.
I have been using Ubuntu (Maverick) lately for a legacy MacBook which I can speedily do daily tasks such as ask questions on askubuntu and check emails.
What I am looking for is to go some levels deeper into what makes up the Ubuntu OS. Some examples of things I would like to look at are:
- The finer details of the Gnome UI (and GTK) - which files "drive" the UI and control at a granular level.
- More in depth details about how drivers and libraries work together to allow all of my peripherals to work seamlessly when plugged in.
In essence I am looking for a reference that is not how to log-in, update themes, install apps/sources etc.
I am looking for a level deeper.
Google is providing me with too much information and I have not come across a suitable reference.
What good electronic resources are available (eg links, ebooks) which will be suitable for a "post" beginner which you have found useful?
