The PT410X thread: Linux/BSD and Open Source Software for users and beginners!

So my advisor is having me write as an appendix to my thesis an instruction manual for a computer program I wrote a while ago. The instruction manual is supposed to be able to introduce an experimental physicist who may not be familiar with a lot of details of computational physics to the program. One problem I just noticed, though, is that a new user may not be familiar with the Linux command line interface that the program runs on. I'd rather not add another section to the appendix that would be irrelevant to people who are already familiar with Linux and distract from the purpose of showing how to use my program. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a really good tutorial for the Linux command line that I could link to along the lines of "If you're not familiar with the Linux command line, read this."

I'm keenly interested in this tablet. Based on Linux, respects privacy, good specs (except for the battery looks like). Can use Android apps. Raised $1.2 million in the first two days of their Indiegogo campaign. Wow.

I love how PulseAudio was supposed to fix all that was wrong with audio on Linux, but on every install of Linux I've done since then I've run into audio problems where the solution turned out to be uninstalling PulseAudio...

PulseAudio is practically my arch enemy. I hate it with burning passion.
ALSA works perfectly fine, so I don't really see why I'd need pulse to replace it. Okay, there are some neat features in it, but mostly it feels just like bloat.
And it resamples all your audio, which sucks huge donkey balls.
