Greetings!
Carl, JP, and Cameron are happy to bring you this resource for bash users of all backgrounds. Here you can find on-line resources for bash and related topics, as well as information about our new book, "bash Cookbook", part of the O'Reilly cookbook series.
The bash shell is powerful software for Linux, Unix, and other systems. It comes as a standard part of most Linux distributions ("distros") and most Unix systems. You can even get versions that will run on MS-Windows systems (see cygwin). It is the "command line interpreter" that you get when you bring up a terminal window like Konsole.
