Editing multiple files at once, using vim, understanding what other people meant when they said ssh, making a patch file and installing packages to make it easy. Nice to also go over a lot of regex, on my list to learn but didn't really get until now.
I have also done some minor scripting which was handy for downloading multiple files from usenet to check each file for integrity. Looked something like
for i in $(ls *1.par2); do par2 r $i; done;
Still a long way to scripting, compile, and remote admin. I am now a fan of no starch press books.
On top of all of that I read Zen and art of motorcycle maintenance, which discusses in depth the idea of quality. To me the idea of quality came across as that happens when someone cares about what they are doing. Interesting ideas of being stuck the bolt which cannot be undone even with destruction as an option, that the bolt doesn't care it is what it is, that does not mean the problem is insurmountable. I have been there many times.
