The Linux Command Line [pdf]

I am using Linux for more than a year now and feel liberated from the Windows trap. Lately, Windows has become too slow in terms of even copy operations. Looks to be a long reading. I think I can skip a few chapters .

This is one of the best tutorials around. Found it very useful and I can't even think of going to windows after reading this!

File copy operations?

Surely the time required for this is dominated by the disk IO speed?

The dominant operation is recalling how to copy something and actually going through the steps to copy it, not anything related to disk IO. At least, as people experience it it is.

Depending on what kind of storage devices are being used, I have observed very slow file transfers in Windows Explorer versus the Windows command-line copy command.
