Site Review Linuxcommand.org

Looking for some basic information on Linux shell commands and getting around in the terminal, I discovered this site. Linuxcommand.org. The site really covers the basics and then some on getting around the terminal. If you need to learn the basics this looks like a great place to start. Topics include :

What Is "The Shell"?
Navigation
Looking Around
A Guided Tour
Manipulating Files
Working With Commands
I/O Redirection
Expansion
Permissions
Job Control


Not only does it cover the basics of getting around the terminal, but it also covers basic shell scripts and how to create your own. Topics in this category include :

Writing Your First Script And Getting It To Work
Editing The Scripts You Already Have
Here Scripts
Variables
Command Substitution And Constants
Shell Functions
Some Real Work
Flow Control - Part 1
Stay Out Of Trouble
Keyboard Input And Arithmetic
Flow Control - Part 2
Positional Parameters

If you're new to Linux and looking for a good place to start, I strongly suggest this site. linuxcommand.org.
