Definition of Linux / Unix |
1. Definition of Linux: Pronounced lee-nucks or
lih-nucks. A freely-distributable open source operating system that runs
on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly
by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many
platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely
popular alternative to proprietary operating systems.
2. Definition of Unix: Pronounced yoo-niks, a popular multi-user,
multitasking operating system developed at Bell Labs in the early 1970s.
Created by just a handful of programmers, UNIX was designed to be a
small, flexible system used exclusively by programmers.
UNIX was one of the first operating systems to be written in a
high-level programming language, namely C. This meant that it could be
installed on virtually any computer for which a C compiler existed. This
natural portability combined with its low price made it a popular choice
among universities. (It was inexpensive because antitrust regulations
prohibited Bell Labs from marketing it as a full-scale product.)

Advanced Bash Scripting Guide |
This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but
progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . .
all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as
a textbook, a manual for self-study, and as a reference and source of knowledge
on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples
invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to
really learn scripting is to write scripts.
This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming
concepts.

Kevin Heard - Unix Tutorial |
Over the course of its history, UNIX has developed a reputation as a powerful
yet difficult to use operating system. This is really quite inexplicable, given
such intuitive sounding command names as chmod, grep, sed, and awk.
Nevertheless, it is apparently true that many beginners find the UNIX
command-line interface to be arcane and, at times, downright impenetrable. It is
for such users that this tutorial is designed.

Learning About UNIX-GNU/Linux |
This page provides access to course notes for a series of talks on the
UNIX-Gnu/Linux computing environment given by David M. Harrison, Department of
Physics, University of Toronto.
UNIX-Gnu/Linux is an extremely powerful computing environment. The notes
concentrate on using the tools provided by the environment as a user. They do
not discuss using the environment as a desktop substitute for Windoze or
Macintosh. They also do not discuss issues of installation or system
administration, except for some brief materials in the fifth module.

Linux Debian Tutorial |
"This is the Debian Tutorial. It is aimed at readers who are new to Debian
GNU/Linux. It assumes no prior knowledge of GNU/Linux or other Unix-like
systems, but it does assume very basic general knowledge about computers and
hardware (you should know what the basic parts of a computer are, and what one
might use a computer to do). This manual is meant to be read in order; each
chapter assumes some knowledge of prior chapters, though you may find it useful
to skip around. This tutorial assumes that you have already installed and
configured Debian GNU/Linux according to the installation manual (which is
incomplete as of this writing). However, you may want to look over the tutorial
before you install, in order to learn more about Debian. In general this
tutorial tries to explain the reasons for things, and help you understand what's
going on inside the system. "

Linux Shell scripting tutorial |
"This tutorial is designed for beginners who wish to learn the basics of shell
scripting/programming plus introduction to power tools such as awk, sed, etc. It
is not help or manual for the shell; while reading this tutorial you can find
manual quite useful (type man bash at $ prompt to see manual pages). Manual
contains all necessary information you need, but it won't have that much
examples, which makes idea more clear. For this reason, this tutorial contains
examples rather than all the features of shell.
I assume you have at least working knowledge of Linux i.e. basic commands like
how to create, copy, remove files/directories etc or how to use editor like vi
or mcedit and login to your system. But not expects any programming language
experience. If you have access to Linux, this tutorial will provide you an
easy-to-follow introduction to shell scripting."

Linux files and command reference |
"This document briefly describes the Linux filesystem structure, Linux
configuration files and how they are used, and Linux commands and programs used
for various functions on the system. This document is divided into two sections.
The first section describes the Linux filestructure, lists system configuration
files, and describes the filestructure of some of these files. The second
section lists all commands and briefly describes them. The commands are
categorized according to system functionality." |

Unix tutorials
|
"The following set of tutorials reflects an effort to give Unix
programmers and programmers wanna-be a chance to get familiar with
various aspects of programming on Unix-like systems. The one assumption
common to all tutorials (unless stated otherwise) is that you already
know C programming on any system. The general intention is to
allow someone to get familiar with a subject rather quickly, so they can
start experimenting with it, and allow them to read a more thorough user
manual or reference manual after they got over the initial "fear". By no
means will these tutorials suffice to turn anyone into a proficient
professional, but one needs to start somewhere and then again, why not
do it for free? "
