I just found this and i thought it as worth noting. I know there is a lot of links to sites like this floating around but to be honest a lot of them are not that great.

This gives some insight in to things such as basic commands, wildcards, I/O and pipes, Permissions and chmod, job control (backgrounding programs, kill signals) and the best bit of all, an insight in the linux file system, (which i found to be one of the most over whelming things to face after changing from M$)

A lot of the topic covered here I have never seen in an easy to understand novice guides.

The best bit of all is it is only 8 pages so readers wont be turned off by the sheer volume of it as many guides do

Check it out and bookmark it for your novice friend.

That's been one of my favorite sites for quite a while. Thank you for posting it, Tex.

I have long felt that most computers today do not use electricity. They instead seem to be powered by the "pumping" motion of the mouse!

Thanks, texstar! Not only a great site for learning, it made me , too!

LOL ... I've had this site bookmarked for a long time now. But somehow, I can never find the time to really go through it completely.

I have to agree ... it's a VERY good site. Lots of really great information.

Here's nice on line glossary of bash commands, which I consult from time to time. You can click on the items for more details.
