I'm a complete UNIX n00b, but want to learn very badly. What is the best way for me to get my feet wet? Obviously learning how to navigate around my machine and some basic commands would be good... I've found the Oreilly "tutorials" and have "terminal in OS X" but a version that was released when tcsh was the default shell...
But anyway, I have the resources available to me, I just don't know where to begin? What would you guys suggest is the best way to go about learning? Make a new user and mess around with it? How am I messing around? I don't want to just be running around being like "OMFG cd /Downloads" "ls -a" - I want to get more in depth than that. I want to use my brain. Challenge me. Help me become a power user!
Thanks guys
