[CentOS] OT: Forum or mailing list for Bash-related questions?
Hi, The subject says it all. After a few years of writing scripts the quick and dirty way, I've decided to take the plunge and learn Bash correctly, using the O'Reilly Bash Cookbook. I'm currently looking for the right place to ask questions, but curiously enough, Google searches about "bash forum" result in nothing conclusive. I took a peek in the corresponding USENET newsgroup, but there seems to be close to no activity. Any suggestions for that? Cheers, Niki

But I'm specifically looking for a place to ask questions when there's something I can't figure out with the documentation.

In fact, we've seen far more off-topic discussion here than that... Not that I think bash is off-topic here, actually I would say most or at least a large part of users in this list are sysadmins and bash is an intrinsic part of our daily interactions with Linux, in this case, with CentOS...
