I previously listed some info on scripting. If you just want the
commands, then an O'Reilly book (that you have to buy) that<br>
I use a lot is "Linux in a Nutshell - A Desktop Quick Reference" by
Ellen Siever, Stephen Figgins, Robert Love & Arnol Robbins.<br>
It has all the commands, plus a section on SED and one on EMACS, and
a short section on the Bash Shell. It's 900 pages, and<br>
worth the $50 that it costs.<br>
<br>
Something similar is "Linux in Plain English" by Patrick Volkerding
and Kevin Reichard from the MIS:Press Slackware Series.<br>
It says on the cover "All commands cross-referenced with DOS
equivalents." This was copyright 1997, and cost (then) $20.<br>
I don't know if it's still available.<br></div></blockquote><div><br>I guess you should go for all those stuff and buy or print, do nothing. What I suggest just sit in front of your computer and read line by line from the book <a href="http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php">http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php</a> (of course, you can download it free). I am too a newbie, if you go all of a sudden with so many books, you may find it difficult, the best is this only and go step by step, don't follow two or more books - for you be rather confused....<br>
