Operating Systems Linux Fedora How to learn UNIX Post 302504734 by newlinuxuser1 on Tuesday 15th of March 2011 10:31:57 AM

As far as I know, all unix/linux have command line. In our datacenter (I work for trading company), I never spotted any GUI on unix, only command line.
I'm learning with unixacademy dvds. It is all about command line. It comes with training and certification and I just passed two first exams. You can pick any edition you like (my favorite is fedora). It is effective and very inexpensive. I tried various books, but in my experience book reading is good for more advanced stages, when you mastered some basics.

Higher-Order Perl: http://hop.perl.plover.com/ Other interesting, non-Perl books You might notice several familiar Perl concepts in this collection of ACM columns from Jon Bentley. The similarity to the title of the major Perl book (which came later) is not completely accidental: Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999] More Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 0-201-11889-0 [January 1988] A note on freshness Each version of Perl comes with the documentation that was current at the time of release. This poses a problem for content such as book lists. There are probably very nice books published after this list was included in your Perl release, and you can check the latest released version at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlbook.html . Some of the books we've listed appear almost ancient in internet scale, but we've included those books because they still describe the current way of doing things. Not everything in Perl changes every day. Many of the beginner-level books, too, go over basic features and techniques that are still valid today. In general though, we try to limit this list to books published in the past five years. Get your book listed If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know. perl v5.18.2 2013-11-04 PERLBOOK(1)
