A Little About Linux (A Guide to Understanding the Basics of Linux)

I originally wrote and collated all of this information a few years ago when I was studying for an LPIC exam (which I didn't take in the end.) It did seem a bit of a waste of time and effort, so I put it all on the blog to see if it would help other people and to remind me of things that I would obviously forget in the future :-)
