Book excerpt: You've experienced the shiny, point-and-click surface of your Linux computer--now dive below and explore its depths with the power of the command line. The Linux Command Line takes you from your very first terminal keystrokes to writing full programs in Bash, the most popular Linux shell (or command line). Along the way you'll learn the timeless skills handed down by generations of experienced, mouse-shunning gurus: file navigation, environment configuration, command chaining, pattern matching with regular expressions, and more.

Just don't be surprised if your mouse starts to gather dust.

Book excerpt: linux commands Linux For Beginners Guide To Learn Linux Command Line, Linux Operating System And Linux CommandsIntroductionI want to tell you a story.No, not the story of how, in 1991, Linus Torvalds wrote the first version of the Linux ker-nel. You can read that story in lots of Linux books. Nor am I going to tell you the story ofhow, some years earlier, Richard Stallman began the GNU Project to create a free Unix-like operating system. That's an important story too, but most other Linux books have thatone, as well.No, I want to tell you the story of how you can take back control of your computer.When I began working with computers as a college student in the late 1970s, there was arevolution going on. The invention of the microprocessor had made it possible for ordi-nary people like you and me to actually own a computer. It's hard for many people todayto imagine what the world was like when only big business and big government ran allthe computers. Let's just say, you couldn't get much done.Today, the world is very different. Computers are everywhere, from tiny wristwatches togiant data centers to everything in between. In addition to ubiquitous computers, we alsohave a ubiquitous network connecting them together. This has created a wondrous newage of personal empowerment and creative freedom, but over the last couple of decadessomething else has been happening. A few giant corporations have been imposing theircontrol over most of the world's computers and deciding what you can and cannot dowith them. Fortunately, people from all over the world are doing something about it. Theyare fighting to maintain control of their computers by writing their own software. Theyare building Linux.Many people speak of "freedom" with regard to Linux, but I don't think most peopleknow what this freedom really means. Freedom is the power to decide what your com-puter does, and the only way to have this freedom is to know what your computer is do-ing. Freedom is a computer that is without secrets, one where everything can be known ifyou care enough to find out.Why Use The Command Line?Have you ever noticed in the movies when the "super hacker,"-you know, the guy whocan break into the ultra-secure military computer in under thirty seconds-sits down atthe computer, he never touches a mouse? It's because movie makers realize that we, ashuman beings, instinctively know the only way to really get anything done on a computerxviis by typing on a keyboard!Most computer users today are only familiar with the graphical user interface (GUI) andhave been taught by vendors and pundits that the command line interface (CLI) is a terri-fying thing of the past. This is unfortunate, because a good command line interface is amarvelously expressive way of communicating with a computer in much the same waythe written word is for human beings. It's been said that "graphical user interfaces makeeasy tasks easy, while command line interfaces make difficult tasks possible" and this isstill very true today.Since Linux is modeled after the Unix family of operating systems, it shares the samerich heritage of command line tools as Unix. Unix came into prominence during the early1980s (although it was first developed a decade earlier), before the widespread adoptionof the graphical user interface and, as a result, developed an extensive command line in-terface instead. In fact, one of the strongest reasons early adopters of Linux chose it over, say, Windows NT was the powerful command line interface which made the "difficulttasks possible

Download or read book Linux for Beginners written by conley walsh and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-10-31 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linux has a long history of change and innovation which turned it into a creative platform for every programming individual that wants to tailor their system to their needs. People often do not come to Linux with words of praise since it is not an uncommon occurrence for a person to give up on Linux based on the first appearance. The command interface can be a bit overwhelming at first glance. Sometimes it might be hard to remember even the most basic of commands and how they work. However, while it is true that there are loads of commands to memorize, you have many different tools that will lighten your load and help you out immensely with whatever you choose to do with your terminal. You will have to spend some time with getting to know the system, but your learning process will not be as extensive as it seems. If you have an administrator, you have nothing to worry about, as they will take care of most of the problematic occurrences. If this is not the case, the system itself will provide you with much help and, if that is not enough, you can turn to the community which will usually try to support you with their technical knowledge. Being a relatively old operating system, it is natural to think that Linux's methods will be outdated, but that is not the case. Most Linux distributions are updated regularly and are up to par with most other operating systems in the same category. The many different distros will offer you plenty of options to choose from once you get started. There are even distros that are tailored to the needs of specific groups of individuals. Distros made for designers, distros made for programmers, distros made for office workers--you can find them all. On top of that, no matter which distro you choose, you can make your own customizations, adding tools, applications, and programs. Several programs that you might need from Windows have been rewritten for Linux, or, more simply and more impressively, the part of the system which garnered said program was rewritten to be compatible with the Linux code. Linux will be able to replace any other operating system to a certain degree. While it might not have the variety of programs and applications or the speed of Windows, it does a good job of emulating it on a budget. While Windows software tends to be updated fairly often, Linux is updated fairly rarely, but the updates are always significant to the system. Linux always tends to match its competitors in whatever possible, which paves a straight and unending road of self-improvement. Linux is always pushed to improve by both the market and the community, as well as the administrators. This means that the quality will mostly be consistent for every distro alike. This guide will focus on the following: Getting started with Linux Choosing a Linux Distribution System Connecting to the Internet with Linux Essential Linux Commands Linux's Available Features Disk Storage Management Redirecting Commands in Linux User and Group Management Commands and Functions for the Beginner Using Linux Text Editors Coding with Linux Programming in Linux using Python... AND MORE!
