What I'm looking for is almost a little pocket guide containing the
basic things a new user needs to know about, like setting a path,
commands such as ls. There are a lot of good books out there, like
"Linux in a Nutshell", but that is $35 or "Running Linux" at $45. But,
what I'd like for these students is something under $10 like a cliff
notes type of book. They are learning C not Linux. Once they get started
with Linux, then they may like it.
