I learned MSDOS and Windows by tinkering and asking questions. I am looking
for an older version of LINUX that I can install and tinker with as a
learning tool.
I snipped the rest. I just wanted to offer one piece of advise: don't look to
install an older version.
Modern Linux distributions has all of the command line toolsets of its
predecessors. So you can install a modern version and still access all of
the tools at your level of interest. If you boot any modern Linux distribution
without X, you're transported right back to the 80x25 green screen days of the
70s.
As for documentation I would advise browsing the guides section of the
Linux Documentation Project first and see if they meet your needs. You can
find them here: http://tldp.org/guides.html
Good luck in your quest. I hope this advise is helpful to you.
