New Linux user and several questions!

[Chris Norman]

I don't know if it'll help you with Linux, I only have a nice folder the 
size of a house with three different versions of Linux still in their 
images, but I do have a unix command summery, might help? Give me a shout 
and I'll send it across. Also there is a site called techonthenet.com which 
has a linux link on it.

Chris Norman.
