Reddit mentions of Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible, Second Edition

I have the UNIX and LINUX System Administration Handbook It's awesome and has a pirate boat on the front, so you know it's good. It's great for best practices type stuff, and there's a little bit of sysadmin humor mixed in.

I also have the Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible which is good for CLI reference.

Other than that, you can find a ton of stuff on the web. Is there anything in particular you are looking for?

The Linux Documentation Project is a really good resource.

Another good way, start learning shell scripting:

If you are willing to spend a little money, I'd suggest the Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible. It will first teach you about the commands you can use on the CLI. Then it will delve into shell scripting. After finishing that book up you should have a very decent understanding of bash.

Another good tutorial that I can Recommend is The Linux Command Line. There are free lessons on the website that cover the same material as his book does. The book is just a lot more in depth.

Also, after you gain some familiarity you can try reading through the bash man page. It's a heavy read, but you can definitely learn a lot from it.

Good luck!

Cool, thanks. I heard something about bash, is that what you're referring to? I am very new to this so please excuse my ignorance.

EDIT: Also, I found this book. http://www.amazon.com/Linux-Command-Shell-Scripting-Second/dp/1118004426/ref=pd_sim_b_5 it has 11/13 5 star reviews. If you agree it would be helpful then I will buy it.
