NMGLUGers, At our recent in-person meet up I had a brief discussion of where to start with a Bash guide and remembered Machtelt Garrels' guide and the Stack Overflow project, "Learning Bash." Both of these seem like very detailed and complete guides, but how 'in-depth' does a beginner need to be? The web site ItsFoss.com had a series of tutorials, FSF has a paperback and there are other places to find a tutorial - like inside a shell and the 'man' pages themselves. But where to start from scratch? I know I took a multi-pronged approach by taking one semester of Linux at the Community College and working my way through a text for a more advanced course on Linux and Unix as well as dipping into the Garrels and Stack Overflow documents. What night you suggest as a starting point for a person going from the GUI to a terminal for the very first time? Thank you, Ted P
