There's the "learn" - it's a bit out of date, but pretty much walks you through most everything. That's how I got started. You can find it here: http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/bwk/index.html Turn it into a port if you have time :) -- I will take a look at that. If I can get it to run then that will be a huge bonus.

I think I will stick with vi(1) mainly because it is the only relevant V from man 1 (and is what I often use so I am more familiar with it). I don't think I want to introduce him to emacs(1) for a while. There is mg(1) as well if need be. I do think that at(1) is more suiting than awk(1) for right now in his learning. I forgot to mention that I want to teach him the UNIX philosophy (obviously) such as programs should do one thing and do it well; use text streams; connect the output of one program to the input of the next (pipelines); most programs are used as filters; and so on. He is already getting the hang of this, using redirection, pipes, suspending and resuming processes, etc. @elijah thanks for the man(1) and mail(1) suggestions. I would use man(1) if it wasn't for help(1), and that he already knows it off by heart (yet again due to OpenBSD). I kept the list sans net for the sake of simplicity, except I _had_ to keep netcat(1). We will have some fun with it. (Once he is up to speed with the basics then it will be lots of net. It's not UNIX without the net.) Thanks again for all the help everyone! Chris
Re: UNIX A to Z List RFC
When he was four I gave him an old apple iBook G4 laptop, wiped OSX and put on OpenBSD instead. I showed him how to log in and basic commands such as cal, man, date, cat, ls, cd, etc and I answer every question he has. If I don't know the answer, we will research the answer together and, thanks to OpenBSD's excellent man pages, we can get the answer pretty quick! I want to give him a nice A to Z list with the classic UNIX commands for him to learn more. He is now learning some vi and doing pipes and redirection. He doesn't yet know about X, so it is all shell. Small steps, but he already knows more, and can do more, than the average windows user. He says "Thanks for my OpenBSD!" I am *very* proud.

UNIX A to Z List RFC
Hi Misc, I made a list of the most classical UNIX commands / utilities from section one where there is only one per letter of the english alphabet (it's for my OpenBSD obsessed five year old son :) ). I know that this subject is very personal and steeped in tradition and history, so I was looking for your opinions and suggestions. A quick note about the list: some hard choices were made concerning letters such as c, p, m, etc. For instance, kill(1) is not included for two reasons: it is included in the shell, and it needs ps(1) to be properly used (which conflicts with pwd(1) which I think is _more_ useful for a UNIX beginner). mv(1) was not included because a cp(1) and rm(1) can suffice. This is the list: awk bc cp date echo find grep head id jot ksh (as a superset of sh) ls more nc od pwd quota rm sort tail uniq vi wc xargs yes zcat Any opinions, suggestions? Thanks! Chris
man -k sendmail in section 1
I noticed that apropos sendmail states that it is from Section 1 of the man pages, but it should be in Section 8. This is found on an AMD64 5.2 and also on the web interface. man 8 sendmail works, but man 1 sendmail doesn't (as expected). Chris
