From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

practice. practice. practice. Just keep at it. Compile the things you need from source and work through the problems until they are solved. Most CLI programs follow a common set of conventions which you just have to build an intuition for over time. You are learning a new language and immersion is key. Also, the CLI is merely the interface. The system is akin to the culture. There are whole set of idioms which have to be learned over time.
