Hi guys.. i have some question. Anybody can help? I want to know the syntax of linux. Where i can find the syntax for linux? I'm newbie in linux. Thx for your help.

The syntax for Linux? If you haven't yet noticed, "Linux" is a kernel of an OS, not a programming language. http://www.kernel.org http://www.gnu.org are some of the urls you should visit. There are 10 kinds of people, those who count in binary and those who don't.

here is a good list of commands for a bash shell and nt's command.exe http://www.ss64.com/index.html If you know the nt command, they will tell you related bash commands and vice-versa. excellant resource. o'rielly also has a great book- Linux in a Nutshell... Good Luck

Huh, BASH is noway related in any way to Linux. There are 10 kinds of people, those who count in binary and those who don't.

Bash is the default shell in most distros I have installed. That includes slackware as well as the easy ones like mandrake and RedHat and Suse. I have an account on a Unix machine and they put me in a K shell (korn) I quickly changed it to the Bourne Shell. I stuill havent seen any difference in it and the Bourne Again Shell(Bash)I have the Linux in a nutshell book and the majority of the book is on the BASH shell with a very small section on the Cshell and Tshell Most people dont relize that linux is just the kernel and the rest of the operating system is GNU for the most part. I agree with whoever said it should be called GNU/Linux so uptight people dont get so uptight. Maybe they should try GNU/Hurd and then see how uptight they can get.

"Huh, BASH is noway related in any way to Linux." I believe Ronald is correct in saying that BASH is the default shell many Distros. I think that qualifies as a relation. I think you were correct to point jdy to http://www.kernel.org and http://www.gnu.org and to correct him in his thinking that Linux is a OS. However his question was regarding Syntax, and since BASH is the most common shell, it would be more helpful to lead him that direction other then mock him. This forum is to help each other.
