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.

How to configure clock in orage

Type in "man clock" at a terminal window. Reference the "format group" section. |

Setting format in clock
Thanks for the tip, but there was no format section in the man clock page. Also, the codes I'm looking for weren't there. I also tried man time, and found codes there, but they apply to timing various operations (not the clock). Any other suggestions?

Formatting clock display in linux
I found what I wanted here. I figured out to search for "linux clock format codes," which I gleaned from your reply to my original post. Thanks!
This site has a complete list of codes.
