Hey guys, I've used Ubuntu in the past, so I have some some knowledge of linux. However, now that I've had a few years of doing IT repairs (some hardware, mostly software such as troubleshooting, virus removal, and so forth) I have been wanting to get into the IT field more and move up from under-payed retail IT repairs. First step that I've chosen is to get a refresher on linux and expand my linux knowledge. I'll be running it on VM on my desktop. I've decided not to go completely linux as I game alot and did not want to deal with dual booting just to game a bit. However I am going to "try" to live on linux as much as I can.
So what I need is a distro where I am to learn more about linux from use. I know there are a few IT jobs out there that likes people with Linux knowledge/experience, but im not sure what they are looking for specifically. I can install programs and setup it up to my liking for use but other then that i don't know much. As I stated, I've used Ubuntu before and did learn about linux a great deal, but I would like to try something that will help me learn more. Searching the forums I've read about Gentoo being a good start, but that thread is 7 years old. Any suggestions and tips would be great.
Thanks!
