Came here to say that and to add. Long list of commands with no explanation or details is minimally useful.

I challenge you to read a man page a week. Use that command every day that week. Find away to use it with two or three other commands you know. Breakdown tasks into units the size of commands you know. Fill in missing pieces with bash or scripting language of choice.



I've been using Linux since 2006... And only this year did I finally type 'man' into my terminal. I no longer use google for finding those sorts of things out.


it's wonderful isn't it?

don't forget to `man man`, and maybe `info info` too. knowing about man sections can be helpful as well.
