A link in chapter two, within the line:

If you are are worried about this then search for <a href="http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/">online tutorials</a> on using it, relevant to your operating system.</p>

..doesn't exist anymore. "http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/ is non-existent and redirects user to some other page. This is small error. But since I was reading it, I thought I should make a note of it here. I know a book which is freely available in this link http://linuxclass.heinz.cmu.edu/doc/tlcl.pdf. The book is called "The Linux Command Line" by William Shotts. However, it only covers for Linux. Also ss64 is a good place to help with command line references. Hope this helps while updating the book

Hmm, that is too bad since this was one of the only good beginner tutorials for some basic command line setup in C... I will have to find something else.

This is good lesson for authors to archive your references with web.archive.org or archive.is or have copy locally next time.

I tried to find archived version on both services and I found this:

https://archive.is/http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/

but links seems not work and both archiving services blocked from many countries and needs VPN for many readers.

the new reference suggested by @Mr-Kumar-Abhishek seems to be good and needs to evaluated although it seems extensive and not like quick tutorial.

thanks for this awesome book.

Best,
MRF

Actually all links from learncodethehardway.org are changed since website updated and courses are now paid

some links mentioned through the book:

FAQ: http://c.learncodethehardway.org/

Ch6: http://regex.learncodethehardway.org/

Ch2: http://cli.learncodethehardway.org/book/

I hope you fix them I'm thinking about translating this book into arabic.
