So at work I'm helping my boss migrate from Mac to PC. Ironically, I'm using a Linux machine as the middleman for this particular transfer. I know very little about using the Linux command line, so I am looking for good (free) resources online to help me learn. I found this article on using bash and it seems to be directed at people familiar with Windows. Anyway, thought i'd throw that up there, although it's mostly a convenient way for me to remember the link when I go home and want to read more of the article.

It seems like, in general, it would be a lot easier to convince people to use Linux if there were more resources like this out there. All the help i've been able to get comes in the form of: figure out what program you want to use, then read the manual for that program (as an aside, I've found that reading the manual is sometimes pretty hard due to lack of examples). While this advice is very sound, as a Windows user I know my goal (for instance, unzip a file and put its contents into a new directory), but have no clue of what I should use. Does anyone know of a good listing that says, "ok windoze users, if you want to do x, the commonly used Linux equivalents are a, b, c, and sometimes d." Or am I going about this the wrong way?
