I was wondering if there is a website or book or something that would explain the basics of unix. I would love to learn how to use the terminal and x11 apps. I have no idea how to work them though.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Well, when you use Mac OS X, you are using a flavor of Unix. pretty cool, huh?

There are many resources. I like Mac OS X: The Missing Manual.
