[ale] windows to Linux user conversion training guide

Type the command cat /etc/filesystems - >> /tmp/foo . When you get the blank line, start entering text. A new line is given when you press "Enter". To stop entering text press "Ctrl-C". 





While a Ctrl-C (interrupt) seems to work, wouldn't Ctrl-D (eof) be more appropriate? Interrupt seems like it'd be dependent on implementation details of what caching happens or something like that. Say, if you were piping to some other command rather than redirecting to foo. I was actually a bit surprised to see it work. 


You said feedback is welcome--hope this isn't too nit-picky.

When I was working at another location, one of the tasks I got to do was to write a training guide to take a windows user and make them a command line junkie in Linux. It was a fun project and the students that used it were enthusiastic about the guide. 

It's been far too long, but I finally extracted the bulk of that guide and put it up on my site for others to see. Feedback is welcome! 

It's not complete and due to the removal of much very specific stuff from where it was written it's a bit clunky now. also the migration away from a good but proprietary wiki (Atlassian Confluence) to plain html is less than stellar. I plan to do more from a docbook version for later html publication as soon as I can. 

the guide is at http://jimkinney.us for now.
