2. Introduction</A>

|

|
|
<P>
|
|
This is for people who are new to unix, especially people
|
|
who are new to unix & new to <A NAME="tex2html3"
|
|
HREF="http://sdf.lonestar.org/">Super
|
|
Dimension Fortress</A>
|
|
(SDF), a
|
|
public access unix system.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
I sometimes hang out in the chat rooms on SDF, & almost
|
|
every day someone enters who has recently created an account
|
|
& asks how to get started using unix & the features of
|
|
SDF. It's an awkward situation because there is a lot to
|
|
know to get started with unix; it would be difficult to
|
|
explain it all in a chat room. What's more, most of the
|
|
regulars in those chat rooms have seen & answered the
|
|
question enough times that they understandably do not look
|
|
forward to doing so again.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
So I'm answering that question here, once. If all goes
|
|
well, when someone enters a chat room & asks how to start
|
|
learning about unix, someone can point them to this
|
|
article.
|
|
|
|
<P>

</H1>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you already know what unix is, or if you don't but you
|
|
also don't enjoy reading about petty controversies about a
|
|
definition, skip the ``What is Unix'' chapter & start
|
|
reading Chapter <A HREF="node5.html#basics">4</A> ``Some Basic Commands''.
