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.

When I scroll with Shift + Page Up in Bash, it doesn't go up as far as I need it to. How can I increase the amount of lines it will scroll up to?
I'm not sure of the terminology to use. When Googling, I only found the recurring advice of "use Shift + Page Up/Down to scroll." Unfortunately when you don't know the terminology, search engines aren't very useful.
I can't seem to find a way to configure the console scrollback buffer (though, if you want to google as well, those are some nice words to use). However, if you're dumping a single file or output from a program, you can use a pager like 'less' or 'more' to help you handle the output.
Well let me be more specific. When I type ls -l /usr/bin I'll get a very long list. With plain old ls, however, I can see everything in there. How would you handle that situation?
Googling away.
