Agenda: Basic Command Line Tasks

Imagine a flat, pitch-black rectangle upon which lines and lines of gray
glyphs have been superimposed. Individually, most of them appear
familiar, but they make little sense in their presented order. Numerals
and blank spaces seem to have been dropped in among letters at random.
It was said that in ancient times, very wise scholars with long beards
and tattered blue jeans could actually speak this strange language,
though nobody except the other wise scholars could understand what they
were saying.

The command line is the language of Unix. These days you can get quite
far with Linux and other Unix-like operating systems by pointing and
clicking every widget in sight. But when there's a real problem to be
solved, sometimes the only solution is to cast open a terminal window
and hammer out obscure chants. This week, Caleb will introduce you to
the Linux command line and explain a few of the more common incantations
that you'll need to get started.

Please take a moment to RSVP if you plan to attend this meeting so
that we can get a general idea of how many will show up. Just reply to
this message (with the GLLUG list address in the "To:" field)
indicating your desire to attend and/or change the message Subject to
"RSVP". Thanks!
