Hello,
  This may be a little off-topic, but I don't think so.
  I know a lot about Linux and feel at home with it, however, I feel
like a newbie after I saw someone do some really great things from the
console. I love the console and always will, so, are there any good
books out there for just learning the ins and outs of the console and
all the great console commands that most distros come with my default?

  I did an Amazon search and came up with no real hits.

Thanks,
Scott
