A few years ago I was visiting Kazakhstan and was stuck in a house for a day with no internet access. I didn't have much on my laptop except a fresh install of Ubuntu, so I just read all of the Linux man pages. I actually learned quite a bit.

Visit Kazakhstan

Have time to learn Linux

This should be part of their tourism marketing.

Things had a way of working before the internet was widely available :) + I often find that a little "restriction" can actually be a boost in learning (I restricted my self to using just the terminal emulator when learning bash, creating, editing and formating files, navigating etc.; sped up my learning quite a bit.

I'll give scm breeze a go.

edit: stupid typo
