And a good night was had by all :-)

Including the four-pawed furry fiend :-P

A good welcome to Nigel to our group.


To catch up with some questions from the night:


Good guides/tutorials/reference to using the bash (commandline shell) on
Linux include:


Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide

An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting
Mendel Cooper

http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html


That is included on the DVD that comes with the Linux Format magazine:

http://www.linuxformat.com/


Also included on this month's DVD (LXF239 August 2018) are:

* Bash Guide for Beginners

* Bourne Shell Scripting

* Introduction to Linux

* Linux Dictionary

and

* Ultimate Linux Newbie Guide


Hope those are of interest :-)

Note there is some very good free reading with all those.

There's also the "Live" option of covering those self same subjects over
a few beers with the group ;-)


For which:

Our next meeting in the city is a Foodie Social on Thursday 05/07/2018.

Watch the maillist for details,


All welcome! :-)

Cheers,
Martin
