    Inroduction of Linux command line

    Hi,
    I am searching for a starting introduction for Linux Command Line. Linux is a version of Unix, and in first approximation all user commands under Unix work precisely the same way on Linux (and FreeBSD and lots of other clones of Unix). Today due to the GUI support it a bit easy to work on it. Under Linux there are GUIs, you can point and click graphical components and get results without worrying about reading the documentation.

    In the traditional Unix environment is more oriented towards the command line where you type commands for the desired actions. It's faster and more powerful, but needs to be familiar with the controls. I will recommend you to get a entire guide or manual for it. That would be much better. Because once you have a list of commands then you can work on it more easily.

    The most easy way to start is by entering the login command. Because this is the only way you can enter a Linux based computer. To start working, you should probably start by login (you "log" in Unix parlance) ie provide your username and password. See also login (1). The program will launch a login shell (command interpreter) for you. In the case of a graphical environment, you will get a screen with menus and icons and a mouse click will start a shell in a window.

    The Shell is the primary component on Linux based system. The system takes orders for the shell. But the same is not integrated into the Linux kernel is a program just like any other. You can change shells, each has his favorite. A sessions ends at typing Control-D. The dollar was prompt - the "prompt - so the shell indicates that awaits the next command. The prompt can be customized in many ways, for example by including the user name, machine, the current directory, time, etc.

    Re: Inroduction of Linux command line

    I will ensure you that just by seeing some commands you will get familiar with Linux. There is lot more in that. The other part which is essential to learn is the
    Paths and Current Directory. The files are located in a large tree, the file system. Everyone has a path describing the path from the root of the tree (called /) to the file. For example, such a path would be / home / cwb / tel. It would not be practical to always provide the full path and file name in the current directory may be abbreviated by giving only the last component. Therefore / home / cwb / tel can be reduced to phone if the current directory is / home / cwb. The pwd command displays the name of the current directory. The command cd changes the current directory. Try cd / and pwd and cd and pwd.

    Directories are the locations of files and applications in Linux. The mkdir command creates a new directory. The command rmdir removes a directory if it is otherwise empty and growls. The command find (with a little baroque syntax) search files with a name or property donated. For example, "find.-Name like" search for the file "as" starting from the current directory (which is named "."). And "find /-name tel" will do the same thing starting from the root of the tree. The research on large disks may therefore take time and it is sometimes better to use locate.
