> On a dingy side street in a run-down section of Hoboken, New Jersey,<br>
|
|
there sits a nondescript squat two-story brick building with an inscription<br>
|
|
incised on a marble plate in its wall:<br>

Inside, among various dusty uninteresting exhibits is a corroding,<br>
|
|
cobweb-festooned brass plaque inscribed with a short, very short<br>
|
|
list of those few persons who have successfully mastered the material<br>
|
|
in the <I
|
|
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
|
|
>Advanced Bash Scripting Guide</I
|
|
>, as evidenced by their performance<br>
|
|
on the following Exercise sections.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
(Alas, the author of the <I
|
|
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
|
|
>ABS Guide</I
|
|
> is not represented among the exhibits.<br>
|
|
This is possibly due to malicious rumors about <A
