    About this ebook

    Easy Linux For Beginners
    A Complete Introduction To Linux Operating System & Command Line Fast!

    This beginner’s guide to a mastery of the Linux operating system is designed for people who have no prior knowledge on Linux. It is not the most intimidating operating system but probably the most powerful. I will provide you with a step to step guide on everything you need to do to install and successfully utilise this powerful “weapon”. I call it a “weapon” because with it, you can do a lot of good as well as bad things. Here is also to the curious soul who just wants to know what this Linux fuss is all about. 

    I will take you through installation of the Operating system in your machine and the configurations of the administrator along with a few chunks of wisdom. If you use Windows or a Macintosh, there are a few terms and technical concepts that you are not aware of and will need to familiarize yourself with. I will provide some of these key terms. I take the time to explain the jargon in simple terms to make the encounter more of a fun adventure than a mind numbingly boring Monday morning briefing. 

    Then there is the command line. It is one of the main features of Linux. It is very important to any Linux user because it provides an interface between them and the underlying library of commands. It is what you feed instructions with. I will take you through a few commands with explanation of what the command does.

    Here is what this book entails in a nutshell:
    • How to install Linux on your computer
    • Installing Linux on your computer that already has Windows.
    • Introduction to the command Line
    • Some common commands
    • The file system with vivid explanations of the directories
    • Manipulating the file system
    • Some important concepts that make life easier for you on Linux
    • Shortcuts you can use
    • Seeking help if you are stuck
    And many more

    There are practical examples to help you understand the concepts and for added practicality

      Introduction

      So, why Linux?

      If you fancy a career as a hacker (ethical)/programmer, you ought to learn what some refer to as the language of the internet. Linux is a kernel (will be defined in more detail). Linux was released by a guy called Linus Torvalds. It is immensely popular and is widely embraced in the programming community.

      It is technically a UNIX clone, UNIX being a commercialized trademark held by The Open Group which is in charge of its licensing. Linux is a UNIX-like operating system. It is widely regarded as the most user-friendly UNIX-like operating system. When we call Linux a kernel, you must be wondering what a kernel is. A kernel is the main/central computer program of the operating system and pretty much controls all activities including input/output operations and memory allocation. It is a key component of the modern personal computer.

      It is important to be conversant with Linux because it is a powerful troubleshooting tool. It is something of a package riddled with some nice features. It enables you to manipulate your hardware in ways you had never imagined before. With the enhanced capabilities, you will feel quite in control of your computer as you explore it without limits. You do not have to be a programming guru to set up a formidable work station courtesy of Linux whence you can run some incredible projects. Of course this will come later on when you go through this guide.
