Advanced Bash Scripting Guide - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting

awk - http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html A tutorial from Grymoire. Awk is an excellent filter and report writer. Many UNIX utilities generates rows and columns of information. AWK is an excellent tool for processing these rows and columns, and is easier to use AWK than most conventional programming languages.

AWK, GREP, SED tutorial - http://coewww.rutgers.edu/linux/lessons/lesson9/shell_script_tutorial.html A tutorial on, among other things, awk, grep and sed.

AWK Primer - http://www.vectorsite.net/tsawk.html The Awk text-processing programming language is a useful and simple tool for manipulating text. This document provides a quick Awk tutorial. It is also available in a downloadable archive, formatted in HTML, for reading on a tablet or other viewer.

awk & sed tutorials - http://www.theunixschool.com/p/awk-sed.html Tutorials from The UNIX School for the awk and *sed* commands.

Breaking out of a chroot() padded cell - http://www.bpfh.net/simes/computing/chroot-break.html This page details how the chroot() system call can be used to provide an additional layer of security when running untrusted programs. It also details how this additional layer of security can be circumvented.

CTRL-ALT-DELETE Behavior Modification - http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-disable-the-ctrl-alt-del-shutdown.html Keep linux from rebooting in response to the three finger salute.

Linux eMail Server - Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) software - http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMailMTA.html Internet mail is sent from the email client to the email server which routes it to the intended destination which will also be an email server. The protocol by which the email servers communicate is called SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and the email server software is known as the MTA or Mail Transfer Agent. This tutorial lists the popular MTA eMail server programs used, basic Sendmail email server configuration as well as Postfix email server configuration. Also listed are Mailing List programs and the RFC's (Request For Comments) on which the internet email standards are currently or eventually based.

Linux Man Pages - http://linux.die.net/man/ HTML versions of Linux Man Pages. If you don't know what these are, you probabably worry about viruses and windows updates every week.

Linux Newbie Guide by Stan, Peter and Marie Klima - unixguide.net/linux/ A great resource for those just starting out with Linux. LNAG and LAME have both helped me with some basic concepts in getting started with linux.

Procmail Strategies Against Spam - http://pm-lib.sourceforge.net/README.html Spam is a problem. This document contains a detailed analysis of various ways that Procmail can be used to combat spam.

Rute user's Tutorial and Exposition - http://linuxcourse.rutgers.edu/rute/rute.html LINUX books assumed that anyone using LINUX was migrating from System V or BSD--systems that I had never heard of. It is a sensible adage to create, for others to share, the recipe that you would most like to have had. Indeed, I am not convinced that a single unifying text exists, even now, without this book. Even so, I give it to you desperately incomplete; but there is only so much one can explain in a single volume.

Sed - http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/sed.html This tutorial is meant as a brief introductory guide to sed that will help give the beginner a solid foundation regarding how sed works. It's worth noting that the tutorial also omits several commands, and will not bring you to sed enlightenment in itself.

Some VMware images - http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/ If you wish to try out several linux flavors without interruption to your current OS before you really install it, VMWare plus these images will do just that and bypass the pain of installing them in VMWare too!
