First Steps with Linux
A Practical Guide to Linux from the Command Line
Why I wrote it
Linux makes a lot more sense when you can see what a command does, try it, and connect it to the next thing. That’s the idea behind this book: start with the basics, take things one step at a time, and build toward actually looking after a system. Not just collecting commands to copy and paste.
Who it’s for
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.
