Syntax 4 Dummies?

[stizz]

Has anybody found,or know of, an online resource for *nix illiterate users? I need a list or instruction set of basic unix commands so I can get a better understanding of the terminal, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

There probably is, however i don't know of a good one offhand.

You can use the manuals inside unix itself.
try this
type "man man" in your terminal window.
you can also use the help system inside terminal for arguments to certain commands.

This might help you.

Also, for the specific shell tcsh you can type in
"man tcsh" to get commands and arguments for this shell.

Try the following websites.

http://www.emerson.emory.edu/services/
http://www.ugu.com/
http://www.UnixPower.org/

'man' pages are great if you need your memory 'jogged' and already know *NIX, but aren't much help to the beginner.

PS - Found another informative website called UNIX Reference desk at http://www.geek-girl.com/unix.html

I've been going through Linux Gazette for old newbie articles. There's a lot on the bash shell.
