[LINUX_Newbies] Re: Linux Magazines

 

There are many resources on the Web for learning the command line operations--especially the basics. For example, try http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php

Many of the bit torrent sites, too, have downloadable ebooks.

Try entering "linux command line" into Google and see what you get...

There are also some "cheat sheets" you can print out here and there which can be helpful.

My suggestion to use aliases was because some of the commands can get pretty involved with all the various switches you might want to use. By using an alias you can easily remember, you can invoke the command with the switches you prefer with one simple command.

Also, don't think you must always use the same shell. For example, give "fish" a try some time. That stands for "friendly interactive shell" if memory serves, and it is much simpler than Bash for most things.
