Hello,

are you going to be following this book ?
It is a great book, after seeing it online first, I got the paper copy, it's the main book I am using for command line.

Yes, I do intend to do so. I thought it was good because it is specifically about the Linux command line. I am just starting chapter 5.

Hello All

Just wanted to mention The Linux Command Line 3rd edition has been released - I think the initial link by Learning is for the 1st edition (let me know if I'm wrong).

To get the 3rd edition go to the author's website
http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

and scroll to this area

Thank you Scott(0) :)
I have the printed edition, after I've worked through it I will look at the new online edition too as the extra information, and updates, will be good.
There is also a Kindle edition.

Hello,

I am in Chapter 5 now about to start, info, next time.

In the apropos section I liked for same -

Code: [Select]
man -k
less letters to type LOL.

They try to encourage me and so I got a book thingy, it's neat, you open the book in it, and can adjust the angle of the book vertically, to suit you, then at the front are 2 arms you fold it on to the pages and it holds the book up, and the pages open.

I am a long way from completing this book, but I am interested to know recommendations of books with tutorials that would be followable after this book to carry on learning the command line ?
This way I can try and get them before I finish this book so I can continue on.
