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

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

I did a search on words 'ubuntu' and 'terminal'
that book was the first one...
most of the rest were older even, some results were even hardware :o

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
