Hi Ketan..

Welcome to the GNU/linux world.

any

There are many many resources.

Books--
I believe there is no book completely dedicated to Linux Commands.
The best book/manual to refer to while learning linux commands are the MAN
pages.(MAN - Manual)
Even the gurus use man pages to refer the switches/attributes & parameters
to the linux commands.
Just type
#
#man commandname
for seeing a list of commands(binaries) installed on your machine press TAB
two times.
(This feature is there in only bash shell. by default linux has bash shell.)

I will still suggest you to buy one of these books, & jump start your work.
The Unix Programming Environment - Kernighan & Pike..
Shell Programming.. - Kanetkar..
The second book must be available on every leading computer book shop.
The first book is the best book & can be said as an authority for Newbees.
Around 360 pages, but its rare, so you can xerox it from me (if u want).
Xeroxing at Mitibai costs 0.25 @page so it 90/- & for spiral binding 25/-.


One click away tute on linux commands & not just a big list of commands but
properly categorized commands can be found at

Good Luck

I am newbee to this lirary.
When I came, I never knew which book is where
Today I not only know what is where, but
I am also a master of some skills.
Now there are many more new things to be learnt
I know how to get going.
But I feel I am still a newbee.
A lot still has to be learnt.. : )
