A beginners guide to using the mighty Terminal

Nikhil Dev | August 8, 2007 | 12:38 pm

When I started working on Linux(Ubuntu) for the very first time, I had no idea of how powerful the terminal was and above all what to type in there. But over the years, I have learnt quite some with the help of friends and resources. I thought if there was some doc which would give people a good idea of all the necessary commands, it would be great. So did some searching on Google and found this really nice PDF from fosswire.com which shows the mostly used ones on Unix. Its a must download –> Unix Reference.

Do let me know if anyone wants other such resources as I do have quite a few of them which are available for free and they are a great source of learning.
