A great way to learn the basics. It’ll be old, but that’s ok. It’s going to cover all the shell basics and then more. It’s still going to be useful, it’ll cost you pennies, you’ll be able to dip into it when you want, and you’ll be giving to a good cause.
Find an online guide. Print to PDF or save as HTML/ODF/whatever you like. Annotate the document. Now notes and article are searchable. I guess a physical book might have an advantage if the power went out, but at that point you’re going to have other problems implementing the things the book suggests.
If you’re going to print something, just buy a book. It’s much cheaper and you don’t have to deal with the carcinogenic effects from the printing.
Online guides are often poorly written.
Internet service can go out without the power going out, you know. Not everyone has the good fortune to live in a place with quality infrastructure or multiple choices of ISP.
Yes I do know that internet can go out separate from power. That’s why I said what I said, which I guess you didn’t comprehend. I’ll say it again just for you. MAKE A LOCAL COPY OF THE ARTICLE AND YOUR NOTES SO YOU DON’T NEED INTERNET TO READ IT.
Wah
