Beginning the Linux Command Line

This is Linux for those of us who don’t mind typing. All Linux users and administrators tend to like the flexibility and speed of Linux administration from the command line in byte–sized chunks, instead of fairly standard GUIs. Beginning the Linux Command Line follows a task–oriented approach and is distribution agnostic.

• Work with files and directories.
• Administer users and security.
• Understand how Linux is organized.

• Finding help from in–system resources
• Finding the right command for the task you have to accomplish
• Working with text editors and intelligent filters
• Shell programming
• Managing partitions and file systems
• Configuring access to hardware devices

Everyone who uses Linux. No exceptions.
