Command lines, though more user-unfriendly…are in many cases, a more powerful way to go about operating your system and appeals to many techies out there.

If you want to start learning up on some Linux commands, you can try Web Articles’s  Linux commands directory.

What I liked:

  • Web Articles is a site which only accepts original and useful content.  Articles in there were comprehensive and detailed
  • If Linux is not your thing, the site also stores articles on many other different subjects

What I didn’t:

  • I’m a visual person, so lack of screen shots sometimes really made it hard to follow at times
  • Although the Linux articles while good – there were way too few of them to make the site really stand out as an authoritative resource fo Linux commands

All in all, it’s free so I’ll give it a quick read – especially since I’m contemplating running a Windows dual boot with Ubuntu pretty soon.
