In a galaxy far far away........, I mean whist in another forum, I had occasion to remind myself of this very useful guide to the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI). This is not about advocacy of cli vs gui - I just thought for those newbies, particularly, that do want to understand a little better just how "the underpinnings" of Linux works, this is a very handy guide.
There is a link on the page where you can download a free version as a pdf file for permanent refernce on your system.

hope it helps,

Sorry to give ya the news that your responding to and downloading from an almost 10 year old, out of date post.modry, a most helful and informative thread. It will be archived. Thank you most kindly.
I wonder just how much of that is still useful considering how old this post is???...Its even before systemd CLIs that are being used now...What you have downloaded is now "ancient" history...DAMIENWed Oct 05, 2011 2:09 am
