Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Is there a good alternative Bash shell? I saw something the other day that was suppose to speed up coding. I would especially like something whereby you can click on a position to begin your typing there.
Thanks.
There's dash which is bash lite I guess. And the default in debian. AKA /bin/sh is dash, not bash. But there's other shells too. And various "versions" of shells.

Can you be a bit more specific how this would speed up your coding?
I'm thinking that the shell has little to do with an editor, which is what I'm using when I'm coding.
Meanwhile certain accelerator keystrokes do work within the command line, and thus the shell, at least for me. Such as CTRL <left or right arrow>, or CTRL-a, CTRL-e.
Do you mean that you're typing long commands into the shell and wish this type of feature to help you be more efficient with the shell?
