You've learned the stuff about Linux that might not be obvious to the new user, but that will come in handy as you begin using your shell and its commands. The details in this chapter will save you headaches as you start applying the materials in later chapters.

With a little up-front knowledge, you can avoid the common mistakes that have plagued so many others.

With that out of the way, it's time to jump in and start learning commands. Turn the page, and let's go!
