Linux shelled

Recently I was looking for resources to help in doing commands through the linux shell (or commonly referred to in windows as "command line"). I came across an absolutely excellent tutorial site at linuxcommand.org.

The site is designed superbly such that seasoned linux gurus can learn a thing or two, and novices can learn in an intuitive process the steps and key terms involved in writing commands and even whole scripts.

For those who don't know the shell is a window used only for typing in commands. Everything is done by text, there are no buttons or other controls which simplify the use of a computer. Shell scripts on the other hand, while they are opened in the shell, perform tasks to save the user time. They may be used to make large scale backups to remote servers, to change the file type of all the files in a certain folder or to do countless other tasks, which would be either repetitive or inefficient to be performed by hand.

So head over to linuxcommand.org and learn the power of the linux shell!
