Today the discussion will focus around the CLI (Command Line Interface) of Linux. It's going to be all about Shell Scripting. For those not aware, the command line (the thing that looks like a DOS prompt? No pictures, just text commands you have to type in) in Linux is called Bash (short for Bourne Again Shell), which is an improvement on the original Unix Shell. I'm not sure how much history Ron will go into today.
In any event, gaining True *nix Wizardry begins with a basic understanding of Shell scripting. There's a tremendous amount of flexibility, power and convenience that can be found at the CLI. Ron will start to unveil those mysteries today! It's like your first year at Hogwarts, or the Jedi Academy. Or something.
Another note, the rumor is the NEXT Saturday HLUG meeting (two weeks from today; 4th Saturday) will be for paid HAL-PC members only and may or may not include DOOR PRIZES. That's something HAL-PC SIGS have been famous for over the years. I've got a copy of Office 2003 Pro floating around, among other things, that I got as a HAL door prize. More details on that as they become available.
Expecto Patronum!!
