Hi' trying to learn "Terminal"

[rlatour363]

Don't know how to use to install 'themes, shell ext., etc.' But will get there.
Love Linux Mint 12. Very new at Linux, but am glad to be away from "Windows".
Would love to learn more about "Terminal".
I think it is great to have a lot of people will to help in "freedom. Thank You.

Here are some refernces for terminal commands and syntax that may help.

First is the terminal itself. Open a terminal, enter

Code: Select all

man man

And check out the basics of terminal manual pages. Whenever someone refers to a terminal command that you are unfamiliar with, use the man pages to check it out.

These links should help.

And the ultimate reference
