With all due respect, I have been using those command line “tricks” since 1987. Some might be a slightly new, but any UNIX (or UNIX alike) daily user knows them quite well. Ahhh… newbies!
If you liked that you might also like Jerry Peek’s book “Unix Power Tools”. Sort of a tome of command line tricks/hacks. It’s an O’Reilly book. If it had been written later, it might be in one of their “* Cookbook” or maybe more like “* Hacks” series.
Also, you mentioned in August that you were looking at zsh, any progress? Zsh has a lot to offer. Though one of the most useful is the command line completion, which you can easily enable by adding these commands to your .zshrc: autoload -U compinit; compinit
Bummer. I don’t have any space left for any Linux version (well, okay, maybe Knoppix from a CD or something), but I would certainly like to have a Gentoo box.
