Topic: online reference text

[Steve]

Hi

I built an SME server just to see what it could do and was so impressed I've put it to work in my small business.

Problem is that I don't know even the most basic of linux commands. At very least I need to know how to get to a command prompt, navigate around, move/copy/delete files, monitor disk health etc. Just the simple stuff needed for everyday maintenance. For anything else I'll employ someone with real knowledge.

Can anyone suggest an online reference text for the complete linux novice?

Thanks,
Steve.

rm --help
man rm

This will work with almost any command.

You can use putty, then enter mc, is a file manager, I use it all the time to move, copy, delete, create directories and files.

Probably the best documentation site is The Linux Documentation Project at www.tldp.org.  www.linuxquestions.org is another one.  


Good luck!!
