[olug] Today's recommendations for a beginner

[Dan Linder]

I second the "Linux Command" book publisher, No Starch Press as pretty good
beginner to intermediate resources.

I'll throw in a plug for the "Learn Linux TV" YouTube channel:
    https://youtube.com/@LearnLinuxTV
His "Linux Commands for Beginners 01 - Introduction" and the following 24+
episodes are decent for a beginner, and each are only around 15 minutes or
less.
