LINUX INTRODUCTION
About This Website
This website is about Linux, a version of Unix that runs on ordinary personal computers. It's for people who want to learn the basics of using Linux (and thereby Unix) without getting bogged down in too much detail or technobabble.
To be sure, there are a lot of Linux websites, but you'll find this one unique because the lessons are short and to the point. Oddly enough, most computer info seems to be written for people who already understand the topic. This site has been carefully crafted and edited so that both the novice and the more experienced computer user will get what they want -- the know-how to use Linux effectively.
Because Unix is the foundation for much of the Internet, many people are using or encountering it nowadays. As the Internet grows, Unix will become more popular, creating an array of new opportunities. If you're simply curious, looking to gain new job skills, or thinking about Linux as a low-cost platform for operating your own Internet server, this website is for you.
You'll find plain-English information here about using Linux on a personal computer or on a shell account provided by your Internet Service Provider. After a brief history and overview of Linux, you'll find a concise and occasionally light-hearted treatment of these topics:
- File systems
- Useful commands
- Text editors
- Data manipulation
- Shell programming
- Email tools
- Compression, Encoding and Encyyption
- Accesing DOS and Windows Files
- Adding & Removing Software with RPM

I welcome your comments. However... I am puzzled by many people
who say "Please send me the Linux tutorial." This website *is* your Linux Tutorial! Read everything here, learn
all you can, ask questions if you like. But don't ask me to send what you already have. :-)
