books are good, don't get me wrong, but the basic linux installation comes
with a lot of documentation.

>From the terminal, if you dare, type
man bash
and a "man" (or manual) page will spew forth.
if you want to know more about the "man" system, type
man man

it will feature a great lot of cryptic reference, but with luck, the
description at the head will satisfy your curiosity.
