<p>Command lines, though more user-unfriendly&#8230;are in many cases, a more powerful way to go about operating your system and appeals to many techies out there.</p>
<p>If you want to start learning up on some Linux commands, you can try <em>Web Articles&#8217;s </em>&#160;<a href="http://www.web-articles.info/e/s/s/Linux-Commands/">Linux commands directory</a>.</p>
<p><strong>What I liked:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Web Articles is a site which only accepts original and useful content.&#160; Articles in there were comprehensive and detailed </li>
<li>If Linux is not your thing, the site also stores articles on many other different subjects </li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What I didn&#8217;t:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>I&#8217;m a visual person, so lack of screen shots sometimes really made it hard to follow at times</li>
<li>Although the Linux articles while good &#8211; there were way too few of them to make the site really stand out as an authoritative resource fo Linux commands</li>
</ul>
<p>All in all, it&#8217;s free so I&#8217;ll give it a quick read &#8211; especially since I&#8217;m contemplating running a Windows dual boot with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28Linux_distribution%29">Ubuntu</a> pretty soon.</p>
