Carlo posted this a few messages back: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ I flipped through it a bit, and it looks excellent. And moreover, I think it does a great job of emphasizing the difference between UNIX and "Linux". Personally, I was asking because I see a *lot* -- maybe most (!) -- students I come in contact with (even the ones good at programming) -- know very little to nothing about command line Linux or OS X. If I could point them to something to get them up to speed in a day (so they know about ls, mv, cp, pwd, etc.), it would be tremendously helpful. So far, http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ looks very appropriate. > Maybe writing something what is not linux and then teaching the > programs that run on those operating systems will help them gain a > much wider point of view.
