Linux from the command line | Linux Tips & Tricks -- managing your bashrc file
Getting to know what the bashrc file is and how it works is an important thing for any serious Linux user to do. At some point you will want, or possibly need to modify it to suit your needs.
One thing I caution people about is getting carried away with aliases. While they are handy and powerful, they are also going to be unique to your system and if you get too dependent on them you'll find yourself lost or at least inefficient when you work on another system. So don't get carried away.

Linux from the command line - finding things with 'whereis'
While the 'whereis' command is handy, it is more handy when combined with the 'which' command. 'which' will tell you which binary will be run if you type that command. For example, try "which find" to see which find command will be run if you run it from your current shell and path.

Linux from the command line -- Learning the sticky bits of file permissions
Linux from the command line -- Learning the sticky bits of file permissions
People coming from other operating systems, particularly Windows, may not be used to or have an understanding of the breadth, versatility, and power of Linux files system permissions. Linux inherited a great system of file system permissions bits from it's UNIX ancestors that give you great power and control over the entire file system from the top file system level to the individual file.
Sticky bits are one part of that system that seem mysterious to many users, but they're really not that hard once you have them explained.
