Linux for the Layman: the Joy of Computing.

What Virtual Machines are good for (evaluating Linux distros) and which ones to use. An example of how and why to use a Bash function. Overview of manual pages and the tldr command.

What is an alias? How to create them. What is a function? How to create them. Some miscellany along the way... :-)

We will go through a detailed example of how to string commands together on the command line using pipes.

This continues from Episode 37 on the terminal shell

I also briefly touch on shell variables - more in the next episode coming soon I hope...
