BASH - Ultimate Book for Free !

Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:36 am

The Linux Command Line by William E Shotts

all 522 pages of it !

from here:-

http://linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php

Note well that the link on this page is 6 lines down and called 'here' in very small print.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxco ... f/download

now that leads if Firefox running on Ubunti 12.04 (my PCs setup) to a very misleading screen !

whatever you do don't print from this screen ! some little gadgets at the top of the screen offer a chance to prinr ! IGNORE cos it garbageises the code ! Eeek ! but there is a gadget that says 'Download' use this to download it ! and use your normal printer (laser monochrome) to print it.

Practicably speaking I personally would never use a colour inkjet print on a 522 page books cos its cheaper to buy the book and you are going to use a lot of black ink and maybe more than one full cartridge !

Other folk may be happy just reading it of a PC's screen but I write notes on the front page and on the margin on more interesting pages.

Any difficulties please PM me.

I found loads of ways of getting ripped off by various companies for a download (via google) and got rid of half a ream of paper, to sort all this out.

I'm not saying either that I'm a BASH expert, far from it *LOL* and I doubt if I have the wit to understand the content or even remember all the many 'nuggets of gold' within its pages !

Good Luck !

:D :D :D

On Raspbian,
sudo apt-get install lynx
In the directory where your pdf is, run
pdftohtml nameofpdf.pdf
this produces an html file for the pdf
then type
lynx nameofpdf.html
:lol:
