hi guys,

i have been playing with linux for a good few months now. i understand more about linux file systems, more about installing etc. even learned a bit about the command line.

i am reading the linux+ book and watching videos. I want to do more with my systems, apart from the stuff i usually do on my windows machines. I know as an admin bash scripting and perl/python is the direction to go...i also understand setting up and using things like apache, send mail, ssh and other functional utilities are mandatory.

the problem im having is real world application. I dont have loads of servers and tons of data to perform awk sed grep commands on, im finding it hard to picture where all of this is applied...is it very different from job to job...site to site? is it something you will only learn once you in the industry?

i have a centos server i connect to over ssh, i use it mostly for rsync and have written a script to backup data...what else can i do to further my knowledge...any ideas please...thanks for reading.
