I am now comfortable enough with Ubuntu that I want to venture out of

So where do I begin?


http://books.google.de/books?id=dzBCH3x6fYEC&dq=learning+the+bash+shell

Some of the guides here: http://tldp.org/guides.html (e.g., Bash Guide
for Beginners)

Some chapters from Rutebook. Install the package rutebook from the
Ubuntu repositories, then open /usr/share/doc/rutebook/html/index.html
in your browser (or open /usr/share/doc/rutebook/rute.pdf.gz in Evince)

There are many other things you can do, but I think these will keep you
busy for a while :)



The rutebook is VERY GOOD! From Dos 4 you are now on another
operating system that is far better than DOS4. Get the book and read it
with the Ubuntu pdf reader. You do not have to even gzip the pdf. The
Ubuntu reader does that for you as you read.

Keep your desktop and open as many Terminals as you need. It is fun.
