Terminal/unix has been around for decades so there is lore stretching
back to the beginnings of computer science. It's sort of like asking if
anyone has any favorite recipes. There are millions of ways to combine
the same ingredients. Best things to ask is how to solve a specific
problem. For example, I was just reading about using netcat which allows
you to pipe data between two commands over a network. So on one machine
somebody was doing tar of a huge file archive and sending that output to
netcat and on another machine they were taking that data in from the
network using netcat and then un-tarring it. Turned out to be multiples
faster than just copying files the regular way and avoids having to
temporarily store a huge archive file before transferring. Another
recent item was my attempt to archive a web site so I could access it
locally. I came up with
wget -mcrpk -o process.log http://www.sitetoarchive.com
which crawls the whole thing and stores it in the current directory.
Then there is the whole thing of MacPorts giving simple installation on
OSX for piles of open source packages. Right now I'm fiddling with
bootpd to get my osx box to respond to bootp requests to try and get the
web interface on my APC UPS to pick up a network address. Anyone do this
before?

Calling all geeks!
I have been digging around and trying to heather resources to teach
myself how to use Terminal.
I have learned some basics but wanted to put out some feelers and see
if you guys had some resources that you could recommend.
I appreciate any tips and I am off to search archives
