I'ld suggest Linux or Unix in a Nutshell, from O'Reilly. I never needed
a book like "Unix for dos users", "Unix for dummies", or any of that
kind of material, but the Nutshell books are definitely worthwhile for
beginners.
Also, try running
xman
This tool brings up a gui for man pages with nicely formatted or laid
out categories.
cp = copy
rm = remove or del or delete
mv = move or rename
cd = chdir
ls = dir (but there are many options so check the man page, "man ls")
ls -F = ls with / and @ and * at the ends of names of directories,
symbolic links and executables
ls -l = ls with long listing format
df = filesystem space usage and availability as well as mapping
du = disk space usage
etcetera
The Nutshell books are worthwhile. I haven't looked at the one for Linux
and haven't needed it, because I have the one for Unix, plus know about
the various sources of free documentation, but compare the two and
purchase the one which seems most suitable.
