Recomend any good books
« on: January 05, 2013, 10:57:57 pm »
I'm looking for any books that will help me understand commands used in Terminal, would this be of any use?

That's 2009 .. so dont expect it to be current.

That said, the command line stuff should mostly be relevant.

most of the rest were older even, some results were even hardware :o
