Folks,

I'm trying to pull together some online HOWTOs and articles as well as
relevant books to help system admins get up and running with Linux/UNIX.

I always have requests for this kind of info, especially stuff for folks
that have no un*x experience.  So this needs to start off at basic
terminal commands.  Below is what I whipped up on the spur of the
moment.  I thought it would be a good discussion topic and that you
folks might know of some good articles/books that I should include.

I plan on getting this up on the CLS Wiki at some point as well.
