Linux Operating System & bash Shell

Linux is the “operating system”, the system that organizes work done on many computers, including the main UW Statistics machines. When you type instructions, or commands, on Linux, you do this with a “shell”, which has a language structure worth learning. The primary shell for linux is the Bourne again shell (bash), written by Brian Fox and named humorously after the designer of the first unix shell, Steve Bourne.
