Announcing The Linux Command Line, 6th Internet Edition

After eighteen months of semi-serious effort, I am pleased to announce the release of the 6th Internet Edition. With nearly forty pages of new, additional content, it's perhaps the largest revision since the book's original release in 2009.

Highlights of the 6th Internet Edition include:

  • Updated Package Management chapter.
  • Extensive revision of the Storage Devices chapter.
  • Coverage of additional shell builtins such as eval, getopts, and select.
  • Expansion of the Arrays chapter including how to simulate multi-dimensional arrays.
  • There is now a downloadable collection of example scripts appearing in the book.


And many more additions and improvements.

For a detailed list of changes, see the Release Notes.

The 6th Internet Edition is now available for free download at https://LinuxCommand.org/tlcl.php.

Enjoy!
