Responsible for many of the commands listed in this document. In particular Lockergnome inspired much of the wildcards section: <xref linkend="wildcards">
Many of these commands have come from the Linux Cookbook (version 1.2). I highly recommend this book to any novice or intermediate GNU/Linux user, have a look at it online, and then of course buy it :).
Some very small sections of this document were taken from the Beginner's course on the <ulink url="http://www.linux.org">Linux Online Website.</ulink>
