Podcast Description
In this podcast, we take a look at the more geeky side of Linux. What we hope to do in this podcast is bridge the gap between the advanced Linux newbie and the newbie Linux geek. What we hope to do is give back to the community and help you, but we also ask that you help us. We certainly don't know everything so share with us what you know and we will share with you what we know. We hope you can feel comfortable using Linux and also hope that we help you with that mission. So, we hope you enjoy listening and thanks! Dare to Look Outside the Windows!

CleanEpisode 3 - The Command Line: A World Without a GUI | In this episode, we will consider some of the most useful commands that are used in Linux as well as unlock the command line. ***Download the droopy python script as well as the shell script so you can customize your own droopy page on the shownotes page on our site. To run the shell script, type either (without the quotes) "./filename.sh" or "bash filename.sh". For the shell script in there, it is droopycustom.sh so the command would be bash droopycustom.sh. Try this one first. To edit, either left click and open with a text editor or, directing to the file, type, (if in Gnome) "gedit droopycustom.sh". I hope this helps. Also, open port 8000 of the router you are sending both from and to if you have one or this won't work. Sorry I didn't explain this better in the show. Thanks for listening and talk to you later. -A.J.*** 0:00 Intro 3:05 My Apology to Brian 3:26 cp 4:25 Tab completing 5:50 cp continued... 7:15 cd 10:45 ls 13:00 Arguments 14:10 man pages 16:55 mkdir 21:10 ifconfig and iwconfig 22:00 rm 25:25 mv 30:15 Part II, Coming Soon! 30:30 My Command of the Week: wget -m www.linuxgeekdom.com 32:30 Brian's Command of the Week: Tab complete 32:55 My Program of the Week: droopy 35:00 medibuntu.org 36:15 Brian's Program of the Week: I Wanna be the Guy 38:15 The Challenge Has Been Posed 41:25 Going Linux Promo 43:37 End | 2/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Awesome podcast!
Just started getting into Linux and switch from windows to ubuntu. I have messed around w/ Linux before but always was intimidated by the terminal.
Am listening to the episode on the command line and can't explain how helpfully it is. Anyway hope you keep up the good work!
