I would like to learn the basics of Linux; In contrast to tutorials that teach how to do common tasks with Ubuntu or something. I'm looking for a structured introduction, not a reference. Also I would like it to be as modern and updated as possible. (I'm tired of reading a Linux introduction in a book where I'm constantly reminded that "today there are new shells that allow you to see the history of the commands you typed before!"
Does anyone know of something like that?
Answer
You might like the online guide - Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide - as a good starting point. Importantly, it is a well-structured guide. If this is not for you, have a look at Linux in a Nutshell and How Linux Works
A working linux system is typically an installation of a linux distro (distribution). At some point you're going to have to learn processes and commands that are specific to your distribution. You might as well choose a book or guide that bases its explanations and examples on the distro you're using or likely to use.
If you have the time and the inclination, you cannot go wrong with this comprehensive guide: LINUX: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition. This guide is a blessing for someone who wants to understand linux, not someone starting out on desktop linux.
