Linux

 

Learn to use GNU Linux with the help of the best pdf tutorials on Linux in English and for all levels, which we collect and bring you in this new post.

Before we show you the tutorials, let's get into context a bit. Linux dates back to 1991, when a Helsinki University student named Linus Torvalds created his own kernel for an operating system that he called Linux.

The Torvalds operating system is multi-user, multi-tasking , stable, powerful, secure, derived from UNIX and distributed under the GPL (General Public License), that is, it is free software.

The fact that it is free software allows users to study it, distribute it, take its source code and improve it, in short, everything that can be done with any open source program .

However, after its birth, Linux was considered by many to be a difficult operating system and targeted at hackers . But with the passing of time it was improved and distributions were born (operating systems that take Linux as Kernel) that presented a friendly graphical interface and were similar in many aspects to other proprietary systems.

Possibly the reason for the above is that Linux works with commands and as you might imagine at first, dealing with the command line may seem complicated, but it is very useful to know how to do it because let's say that thanks to them we can expand the functionalities of the operating system.

By the way, the most important commands and some others you will know in the pdf tutorials on Linux that we will show you shortly for you to download.

Today, Linux is consolidated around the world, there are thousands of applications that do the same as the most famous Windows applications, for example, it has millions of users and is the preferred server-side operating system .

If you want to join those millions of Linux users (a community that by the way is very active), if you are looking to perfect what you already know or learn something new, you have to take the free pdf tutorials of this entry.

We hope you enjoy them and they are useful to you 🙂

 Linux, Unix and Shell Programming Commands

A little earlier we said that knowing how to work with the Linux command line was extremely important, so it is necessary to know what commands exist and what they are for.

With this tutorial prepared by Iñigo Tejedor and Pello Altadill, you will have access to a reference guide to those commands and to Shell script programming , which you can use whenever you need it.

Keep in mind that it is not conceived as a resource that should be read page by page but as a resource to go to when you need to remember the most used commands.

 Eminently practical Linux manual

We continue with the pdf tutorials on Linux in English with this practical reference manual prepared by ZonaSiete.ORG Editors Team for intermediate users .

However, although that is your target audience, its first few pages contain important information for newbies, and only basic computer skills are needed to follow.

The idea behind this tutorial is that the user knows the most frequent problems in Linux and most importantly, how to solve them on their own.

Joel Barrios Dueñas has written one of the most complete tutorials on server configuration with Linux in English.

To give you an idea of ​​the quality of this resource, the author mentions that in his pages he has captured the results of the work of more than 10 years of research and experiences on Linux and servers.

Like any good Linux tutorial, it starts from the basics and gradually goes into deeper topics, reaching the goal of learning to configure and manipulate servers with Linux , the preferred option for this type of work.

Keep in mind that although it does address some basic topics, it does not cover them in depth, therefore to follow it you must have average knowledge of the GNU / Linux operating system.
