Hi, I’m Traw. I work with Linux and networks. I use this site to share what I’m working on, what I’m learning, and the things I’d rather not have to figure out twice. Mostly Linux, networking, and whatever has my attention at the moment. These are my own notes and opinions.
You’ll find notes from the terminal, a few books, and things I’m making. There’s a little more about me, too.
By the time I took the RHCSA, I’d been working with Linux for years. Writing *First Steps with Linux* had also taught me a lot. I spent hours checking details, testing commands, and figuring out how to explain things clearly.
Read articleYou don’t need to memorize every Linux command and all its options. I certainly don’t. But knowing where to look when you forget something makes Linux a lot easier. A lot of that information is already on your machine.
Read articleI might open it looking for that same command and end up reading the few pages before it. Those pages explain something I wasn't looking for. Maybe there's another command that does something similar. Maybe there's a warning about an option I was about to use. Maybe I realize the command I came looking for wasn't really the thing I needed to understand in the first place.
Read articleA LITTLE LONGER THAN A BLOG POST
Mostly about Linux and the command line. Best read with a terminal open and a bit of time to try things out.
You’re new to Linux, or you’ve used it a little and want the fundamentals to click. We start at the terminal and work through files, permissions, users, storage, services, and networking.
The story behind the book
You know your way around a terminal and want to turn a few commands into something repeatable. Read it from the beginning, or keep it nearby when Bash does something you weren’t expecting.
The story behind the book
You’re interested in security and want to put Bash to work in an authorized lab or testing environment. It’s for readers who want practical scripting examples, rather than another list of commands to memorize.
