The Command-Line for the Terminally Challenged
This is the command-line tutorial I gave on Wednesday 5th November at 2pm, in Meeting Room 6. Like all LUG tutorials it was free, but in the event of overcrowding, LUG members (i.e. CompSoc members) would have had priority. Join Now To Avoid Disappointment! 
(note, I'm joking, there were about 10 people there plus a few people who'd helped put it together)
Handouts: there are several files available. I used MagicPoint for the presentation and handouts. You probably just want the 6up postscript version: cmdline-paged.ps.
MagicPoint (mgp) files:
cmdline.mgp - presentation as projected
cmdline-handout.mgp - printed handouts (a lot of slight size tweaks were required to get the handouts just right)
PostScript files:
cmdline-handout.ps - rendered from cmdline-handout.mgp using this command:
- mgp2ps -f cmdline-handout.ps -p a4 cmdline-handout.mgp
cmdline-paged.ps - "6up" (6 on a landscape A4 page) version of the above created using psnup like this:
- psnup -pa4 -l -m10 -6 cmdline-handout.ps cmdline-paged.ps
Here's an example .bashrc file: example-bashrc. It's a plain text file; follow the instructions at the top of it, especially those about not passing it through Windows (which can introduce problems with line-endings). This is Version 2 (16:14 05/11/2003), the most recent changes add colours to ls.
Someone asked at the end how to copy files to and from DCS home directories from outside, this is quite easy and is now described under DCS.
