Introduction to the Linux / Unix Command Line
Jon Lasser
Topic: UNIX
Audience: Beginners
Description:
This talk introduces basic principles of Linux and/or Unix usage for someone with no Unix experience. It covers reading man pages, including decoding the abtruse 'syntax' statements crucial to effectively using Unix documentation; files and how Unix thinks about files; and redirection and pipes, the heart of the Unix way of doing things. This talk is based on the first three chapters of my book, Think Unix.
Prerequisites:
This talk is geared at people new to the Unix command line but with some PC, Mac, or GUI-only Unix experience.
History:
I've presented this talk at Colorado Linux Info Quest (CLIQ) in March 2001 and at the Columbia, MD Linux Users Group in May 2001.
