Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
we've decided to hold a small gentoo class on IRC next Thursday, and see if it |
| 4 |
goes well and if the experiment needs to be developed. The topic is |
| 5 |
"command-line usage" and we will try to speak about the following things: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
1) why use command-line |
| 8 |
2) what is a shell? a terminal? how to choose/install/launch one |
| 9 |
3) common commands (ls/cd/cp/mv/rm/mkdir/man/...) |
| 10 |
4) completion |
| 11 |
5) more advanced commands (cat/less/vim/ps/top/mount/dmesg/...) |
| 12 |
6) piping |
| 13 |
7) tips and tricks |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This is intended as a beginner course. You will only need a working linux (not |
| 16 |
necessarily gentoo) install and an irc client. If you already know the basic |
| 17 |
use of command-line, don't expect to learn anything. We won't go into more |
| 18 |
advanced topics like shell scripting or sed usage. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
The class is expected to last for one hour, and will be followed by half an |
| 21 |
hour of Q&A, and open floor after that. The channel will be mute but we will |
| 22 |
still be able to read you and will voice people who have interesting questions. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The time will be 8pm UTC (that's 4pm on the east coast, 10pm in western |
| 25 |
europe, 9pm in the UK), and the place #gentoo-class on irc.freenode.net. |
| 26 |
Everyone is welcome. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If you can't attend, the logs will be available, and hopefully also a more readable edited version. |

Thanks, |
