Hi Rocky, We all learn differently - I learn well from books, I just kind of file it all in my brain. You may want to read something like: Learning the BASH Shell: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596009656.do
or The Linux Command Line: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9781593273897.do Then when you tackle different problems you'll remember what's possible and probably even some of the techniques. The rest you can look up if/when you need to. Cheers, John J.
