[ubuntu-za] ubuntu command language

[William Kinghorn]

Hi all,

if you go to http://learnlinux.tsf.org.za then click on the tab "Linux Courses", which you can download HTML and PDF versions of Learn Linux material.

They are : Fundamentals, System Administration, Network Administration, Shell Scripting, Internals, and Electives.

Send them any errors/bugs you find.

William

A brilliant online tutorial is at
http://learnlinux.tsf.org.za/moodle/

Start with the Linux History and Fundamentals (100), then do the
Linux Admin course.  It has tuts, exercises and online quizes so is 
quite easy to learn.

These only differ from Ubuntu in the selection of programs available and 
the way some of them fit together.  You will find Knoppix most similar 
to Ubuntu, since they both have their roots in Debian, and use the same 
package manager (apt).

Yes, the command-line stuff (which is called 'bash') is the same across 
all versions of linux.  The biggest differences are in the GUI (which is 
why most linux gurus just stay away from the gui).
