Subj : A Terminal and a Manual To : hyde david From : Maurice Kinal Date : Tue Oct 15 2019 16:02:08 Hallo hyde! hd> Does any one have a suggestion of a book that will provide the hd> same experience in learning to use Debian Linux? I know of a much better idea that will definetly steer you towards what was probably closest to the original way (pre-Debian) one got a linux root/boot system off the ground. Check http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/ for all the gory details. As for the commandline any book/tutorial on shell scripting (eg bash) most often contains examples of using basic commands within a shell script which will shed light on the usage of such commands as well as learning basic builtin shell commands. Things like sed, grep, tar, date, etc. are oft used commands within a shell script. This is probably the best way to learn linux as well as any other unixie enviroment.
