Kris, of filmsbykris, has made many excellent videos for Linux, python, and some other stuff as well. Also, for general cheat sheets, check out the Packet Life website at HTTP://packetlife.net (they're not necessarily all linux-focused but I have found many to be very useful).

Some things that helped me initially were the Bash Guides & docs at http://TLDP.org and the RUTE tutorial, if it is still around. - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-downloadable-books-to-teach-yourself-linux/ The 'help' command will provide you with information on Bash built-in commands, but it can be hard to read & there are some better online references for Bash help. The problem with many of the man pages is they have few good real world examples, compare 'man chmod' to 'man find' or to 'man rsync' to see what I mean. Like Tim suggested use the "command --help" option to find common switches to features you may need. The 'apropos' command or 'man -k' alias can be a wonderful & often forgotten resource. The 'which' command will find commands that are already configured in your PATH environment. These don't always find the commands to launch gui apps, but most of the command line apps are referenced. For gui apps, I often use something like 'locate system-config | grep bin' to find redhat sysadmin tools, if I cant remember the exact name of the binary, usually I can find part of it with locate or search with grep & google. When launching gui apps from a terminal, remember to put the command in the background by ending it with the '&' character. This will get your terminal prompt back to do other command-line magic or else you'll kill the app when you close the terminal. # man -k browser # which firefox /usr/bin/firefox.exe # /usr/bin/firefox.exe --help # /usr/bin/firefox.exe -safe-mode http://weather.gov/jax & -Hope this helps, Art On 4/23/2012 7:10 PM, Tim Holloway wrote: > You SHOULD be root if you open synaptic. synaptic open...
