Since my job has always been computer repair and networking, I've never really delved into shell scripting etc. I was so amazed to see what I could do with just a few small scripts! Even though I'm still learning it has already changed the way I use my computer. If you don't know how to fully utilize the shell, and shell scripting I would suggest you take the time to learn. Here are a few books I've going going through to get me started. Most of them are from O'Reilly, they do an amazing job in all their books.


I have plenty more Ebooks from topics ranging from Vim to PGP, just let me know if you are interested in more. I've found reading from one book helps me focus a lot more than reading from multiple man pages and tutorials.
