Linux Newbies

If you don't know what to read first, you can jump straight on to my most popular Linux help files:

* An introduction to the Linux command line

Even today, in 2008, the ye olde command line is still a fast and powerful way of using Linux. This series of articles will get you started with the Linux command line.

* The humble Linux cheat sheet

A short and sweet (well, at least short... :) reference list of the basic Linux commands.

* Linux's directory structure

An overview of the most important directories on Linux.

* How to install software from source

Yes, some people still want to install their software the traditional way. Learn how to do it!

* How to edit and understand /etc/fstab

The most popular help article at tuXfiles. I recommend having some basic Linux knowledge before reading this one, though.
