Useful unix command
How-to article submitted by new user. I've already left him a note on his talk page about contributing this sort of thing to Wikibooks, but I'm not sure if they'll want this particular piece (it doesn't follow WP:NPOV--is that a drawback?). Meelar (talk) 01:18, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * I think it can be cleaned up enough to transwiki to Wikibooks. If this wins consensus I'd be happy to help - I use the Unix CLI way too much. N (t/c) 02:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to wikibooks. The article isn't bad for a book (like Dummys for Unix Command), however, might not be suitable for Wikipedia.  --Hurricane111 04:32, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Please note that Wikibooks already has three wikibooks that list useful Unix commands: Guide to UNIX commands, Linux For Newbies, and Linux Guide. Wikibooks is trying to consolidate the command guides in these three into the first (to form a series of such books, including a Guide to Windows commands), and would prefer editors to contribute to the existing wikibook, and finish it, rather than simply begin yet another book on the subject.

 * Just delete. We don't really have to keep everything people try to include here. / Peter Isotalo 22:31, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:ISNOT a FAQ or a how-to. (And, as ever, per Uncle G.) -Splash 22:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with pre-existing Wikibooks as per UncleG's suggestion. Some useful stuff here, but some things listed are specific to certain distros, which should be brought out as more users contribute to the Wikibooks listing linux commands.---CH  (talk) 18:12, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
