Linux Commands Book Blog - Welcome!
Hello -
If you need to learn how to run Linux commands, you've come to the right place!
Watch this blog and you'll see a great Linux commands training book develop right before your eyes!
You'll learn how to get Linux so you can work with it, get to the Linux command line prompt so you can run Linux commands and you'll also see how to use lots of Linux command line options.
This will help you to learn Linux in a way that saves you a lot of time, avoids frustration - and you'll also have some fun!
My name is Clyde Boom and I've been teaching computer software programs and operating systems (such as Linux) for over 20 years now.
A lot of people find Linux commands difficult and confusing to learn and so I've spent a lot of time coming up with methods of describing how to use Linux commands in a friendly, easy-to-learn, non-technical manner - so you can learn Linux in Plain English!
In this "Linux Commands Book / eBook Blog", you'll also see lots of Hands-On Exercises (Linux training labs) that show you step-by-step how to work at the Linux command line prompt.
In these Linux training labs, you'll see a brief description of the next command you need to run, then see the command you need to type in - and then a brief description of the output of the command.
In other words you'll learn: 1. why you need to run the command, 2. the keystrokes to type in to run the command, and 3. get a description of what the command did for you!
Linux Training Terms - Understanding the Linux Lingo
The path to trying to understand something is often difficult to walk along if you're constantly coming across words (such as Linux terms) that you don't understand.
So, whenever you come across a Linux term, you'll either see a brief description of the term, or have a link to a description of the term.
I will often use "a.k.a" (short for also known as) to describe a word or term, like the "shell prompt" (a.k.a. command line prompt, CLI, command line interface).
In the example above, the words: command line prompt, CLI, and command line interface can all be used to describe the Linux "shell prompt".
I'm excited about using this "Linux Commands Book / eBook Blog" to develop a Linux commands book / ebook and I'm quite interested in your comments and feedback.

Hi Clyde,
That's a very good idea!Theory and practise: for example i'd like to understand and be able disk partitioning and formatting not only via GUI but also, and this is I think the true Linux student goal!, via CLI! So it works!A kind of interactive classroom. Thanks Clyde, glad to be here
ciao Massimo
Thanks so much for the kind comments Massimo (in Italy)!
Massimo bought the Linux Admin & Commands video tutorials CD at
http://www.iLearnLinux.com/Linux-Commands/
and he was able to log in and get Linux training immediately after he bought (so he could start learning Linux immediately and didn't have to wait for his CD to arrive in the mail)!
Massimo, I see you put in your email at the top right and subscribed to this "Linux Commands Book Blog" yesterday. Now you'll automatically get updates to this blog by email.
Over time, you'll see a Linux Commands training book evolve - and learn how to use Linux the easy way.
Please keep me posted with questions and comments.
I look forward to your input!
By the way - the Linux term "CLI" that was used in the above comment stands for "Command Line Interface". This refers to running Linux commands at the Linux command line prompt, as opposed to using a Linux "point and click" GUI (Graphical User Interface).
Linux commands are extremely powerful and run very quickly. You can type in a single Linux command at the "CLI" (command line interface / prompt) to quickly and easily do the equivalent of: running a GUI utility program and clicking many times to get the same thing done!
