Anders -- good for you.
That said, as one of those 'grey beards,' can I recommend that you stop,
and go to a technical library or bookstore and find yourself a copy of Rob
and Brian's wonderful book: "*The Unix Programming Environment*" (*a.k.a*
"UPE" or ISBN 0-13-937699-2) *then do the exercises*. That book is still
relevant today - a little secret, I give a copy of it and "*Advanced
Programming in the Unix Environment*" (*a.k.a.* "APUE") to all my new
engineers - even though they are all using 'Linux' for their work. To
those that object at first, I remind them, Linux is just the current and
most popular implementation of the ideas from Ken, Dennis, Doug, and
friends and I'm sure they will learn something from the time invested[1].
+1. It is still my all time favorite Unix book, but the best ed(1)
tutorial I read has to be UNIX Programmer's Manual for Version 7.
Still highly recommended.
