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.

@WillingToLikeLinux: Both the backslash (\) and the pipe (|) are normal keys on any ordinary keyboard. No special actions need to be taken to use them.
- Are you using a special, none normal keyboard?
- Have you set your keyboard correctly?
- Is your locale (region) setting correct?
Maybe you should tell a bit more about what it is you are doing.
I don't know what you are saying. Is Altgr some kind of code or something?
Your keyboard should have two ALT keys (keys with ALT or ALTGR) written on them. The one on the left is your basic ALT key and the on the right (usually labelled AltGr) is what Repo is referring to. There are found on the last row of most keyboards just next to the space bar.
