You should know "/" means if you have ever used DOS even. I know I know-but it was once my only operating system. Dos 6.0. LOL. Guess thats why linux commands dont scare me.

wasn't it "\" in DOS? I've always had problems switching between the two cause of things like that...(not to mention typing ls at the NT command prompt).

When I started learning i used www.linuxquestions.org a lot

http://howtos.linux.com/howtos/HOWTO...tegories.shtml is also good.

and don't forget www.google.com . I've found that if you've got a question about linux, someone else has asked that exact same question before and so a search will usually find it (assuming it's a very specific question).
