Introduction to Linux Command-Line for Beginners

"This guide is also available as a free PDF. You can download it for free now!

"This introductory tutorial addresses new and average Linux users rather than experts who will already know quite everything is explained here. I am no expert, so if you want to help me improve this tutorial or have some other suggestions or corrections please feel free to contact me at craciun.dan@tuxarena.com or leave a comment on the dedicated page at the TuxArena website.

"This guide went through some changes since I've posted it on the TuxArena Blog over one year ago, and I believe this version is more complete and well-organized.

"The guide aims first-time users and average Linux users and its goal is to make you learn your way around when using the Linux command-line interface (or CLI for short). It also encourages some habits which I believe that, although hard to learn at first, will make you more productive later on.
