Tools Red Hat 7.3 and UNIX similarities and differences::

I recently started an introductory course in UNIX / Linux Red Hat 7.3. The textbook came with the Red Hat 7.3 OS included but no UNIX. Are the commands and syntax so closely related that if I learn one I automatically know how to use the other. What are the similarities and differences. When I've completed this course, what would be the next logical progression or follow-up course along the same lines?

The commands and syntax is not 100% the same. The are quiet similar though.

There's no logical progression in my opinion other than practice and reading the related man pages when you want to do something .

Apropos is a good command when trying to find info about what is related and what man pages you need so check

Code:
man apropos

Also if you one check something really close to unix you can try and install OpenBSD on a virtual machine or a physical drive. So also check the openbsd FAQ page.

(i have not made 5 posts yet so i can't give you links but with some googling i'm sure you'll find everything to make an OpenBSD start). SmilieSmilie


Edit: Also, writing programs/scripts will help you get a better understanding of how things work. Smilie

Redhat 7.3 is very old. You should consider downloading a more recent version.
