Newb to forum: Familiarity with CentOS

Post by Java_Lava15 » 2015/07/21 00:04:51

Hi all,

New to the forum, but not new to CentOS. Used it in a Linux/Single User class in college, did a BUNCH of coding in Bash scripting, C/C++, and touched a little bit in Perl and CGI. Well....I didn't really keep up with using Linux after that class and forgot a good bulk of the commands and bash scripting :D

I got CentOS 6.6 installed in a VM, minimal install (no GUI [This was done by accident, but turned out to be better this way!]). Can someone point me into the general direction of in the ways of resources for brushing up on Linux commands and shell scripts?

Thanks!

An excellent guide for new users can be found here: http://linux.2038bug.com/rute-home.html While not official documentation, it contains information that should help you out though it's not CentOS specific.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
