complete noob
Hi all, This is my first post.

I am a complete noobie to the UNIX OS, I have an iMac G5 with the unix shell built in and am interested in learning how to use it to do things useful with it, but have no idea where to start. I have read over the basic commands but they haven't helped me much yet. Just a few questions.

first, what can I actually do with UNIX and also where can I start to find good information on how to do it?

Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks in advance

I like this site for learning unix commands. They explain the command as well as include an example or two for each. I find it easier then referencing the man pages.
