blogspot.com Part 1 of a three-parts tutorial shows the very basics on getting used to the command line in Linux. "A shell is a command interpreter which allows the user to interact with the computer. Basically, it is a program which takes the commands you type, interprets them and performs the tasks you asked it to do, then it sends the results to the standard output, which usually is the screen."

blogspot.com Tutorial on how to change the console resolution by editing the /etc/grub/menu.lst file, so instead of the standard 80x25 size the screen will be able to use 1024x768 or even bigger. Helpful when working in a shell and it looks nicer when the system boots up.

http://hehe2.net/linux-general/google-search-straight-from-the-command-line/
hehe2.net Sebastian Bilbeau authored a script that enables you to Google straight from the comfort of your command line interface! How sweet is that? The script will give you the links of the first 11 result in Google, nothing more nothing less. Meaning don’t expect it to give you titles and description, very rudimentary stuff I must say, but still it is kinda neat.
