  Based on 50 years of using computers (mainframes the size of tennis courts!) and 25 years of PCs and 15 years of searching through poorly produced instructional videos I have to say that this is, without doubt, the best that I have seen on any subject.  Well scripted, well presented and incredibly helpful.  Thank you!

  i love how you don&apos;t <i>assume</i> that the person watching knows this or that. this is truly a beginner&apos;s guide; you explain <b>everything,</b> even the parts i feel other tutorials would skip. i&apos;ve been using bash for almost a year now and there was still so much that i had no idea of, or that i did know how to use but didn&apos;t know how it worked. this crash course was a massive insight into all that. thank you for the great video!

  FOR THE PEDANTIC PEOPLE: No, BASH is not a Terminal, It is a Shell. I explain that in the video. The title is constructed to be searchable, not &nbsp;taken literally. Also, SASCII (7 nits) refers to the original 7-bit coding scheme for text characters, while a byte is an 8-bit unit of digital information. Although ASCII uses 7 bits for each character, these characters are stored in practice using 8-bit bytes, with the leftmost bit often unused or reserved for error checking (parity). Since I have clarified these points in the comment section already, there is no need for you to do so. Thanks. :)

  When I clicked on this, I didn&apos;t realize the video was so old. I&apos;m glad I didn&apos;t click away though, this tutorial is very nice. Hopefully it&apos;ll prepare me for an upcoming interview. Thank you!

  I’m a FACT teller!!! This VIDEO has helped me more than a hundred other videos on YT!! This goes slow enough for the new person and fast enough for someone like myself doesn’t lose patience or interests. He doesn’t assume we know anything, is answering questions everyone else has assumed we knew. PERFECT, WONDERFUL AND THANK YOU, Sir. THANK YOU KINDLY!!

  This was my first video of Linux. After two years working with it almost as a daily driver I can tell that this is for sure one of the most useful and comprehensible video-tutorial of everything I&apos;ve learn in my entire life. Congrats Joe👍

  I&apos;m about to give you an unusual complement. I live in Nashville where obviously there are a lot of songwriters. I actually am very close to some people who have written some big hit songs. one thing I know about songwriting is that you have to keep the song moving forward continually. In other words, you can&apos;t just hover over one idea for a long time. You should always keep the story moving forward, the next event always progressing from the last event especially if you&apos;re telling a story of course, and making it very understandable to the listener. Your lessons flow very much like a well-written song. You&apos;re an excellent orator, and your lessons flow from one thing to another in a very logical way. I just thought I&apos;d put that out there. I&apos;m very appreciative of the work you do to get these videos out there. I don&apos;t know why, but I am really into Linux very much. I just thought I&apos;d pass that along. God bless.
