A large part of every Linux forum's work is dealing with enquiries by Linux novices. While it can be very enjoyable to help others, it can also be rather tiresome to try to help people who have shown no inclination towards helping themselves. However I believe that in many cases, this is not due to inherent laziness on the questioner's part. It is simply that novices have not been shown the first steps in Linux problem solving and do not realise how much they can do for themselves. It is hoped that this guide will be of use to anyone who is taking first steps in Linux.
This is the rest of the letter that Dr. UN*X is sending to Adrian about his question onto how can people connect to his system using the two DSL lines connected to it, read on to see the rest of the letter.
In this article a simple usage of regular expressions is described. Its intention is to bring users to try the most powerful search and replace paradigm available and hopefully start using it.
Thanks to the Perl scripting language you can automate various tasks in your Linux system. Learning Perl is both easy and fun, and you'll soon be able to write scripts which will make your life easier. In these series of articles I'll start by explaining the basics and I'll progressively introduce more complex concepts and advanced techniques.
If you have been using Windows for any length of time you will have acquired some expertise and probably built up a collection of files you don't want to lose, two reasons why you might think moving to Linux is going to be too much trouble. It isn't, trust me and read on...
In the previous lesson we learnt what Perl was and how to use the interpreter to run Perl scripts. We also wrote our first Perl script: HelloWorld.pl. In this lesson we will learn how to use variables and command line arguments. We will then use them in order to write our second Perl script: a calculator!
Considering the substantial increase in linux desktops, it seems likely that more and more of these users will need to integrate into Windows based networks. I have provided a breif howto on Printer and File Sharing with Samba.

What is ELF? ELF (Executable and Linking Format) is file formatthat defines how an object file is composed and organized. With thisinformation, your kernel and the binary loader know how to loadthe file, where to look for the code, where to look the initializeddata, which shared library that needs to be loaded and so on.
In the previous lesson we learnt what variables were and how to use command line arguments in Perl. We also wrote our second Perl script: the Calculator. In this lesson we will learn how to use If statements and loops and how to open files to read and write into them.
In the previous lesson we learnt about string comparisons and fileparsing. In this lesson we'll see how Perl can interact with thefilesystem and execute commands in the Linux operating system. We'llthen use what we've learnt to write a little script.
