Linux Shell Commands

This book is a tutorial and a quick reference in one. It presents some of the most useful Linux shell commands along with helpful usage examples and explanations. Rather than targeting admins, the book is geared towards desktop users who want to become more productive in accomplishing everyday tasks such as copying, compressing, finding and downloading files. This book distills the most important information from the Linux manual pages, which can be very detailed and difficult to understand. Instead of listing dozens of flags and switches for each command, the book focuses on the options that you'll really need, providing hands-on examples of their use.
