Intro

This week-of-unix-tools is intended to be a high concentration of information with little fluff. I'll be covering only GNU versions of the tools, for the sake of choosing only one version for sanity sake.

The goal of these articles is to give you many real examples of each tool being used.

Intended Audience

These are not "newbie guides" by any means. They're really geared towards people who have probably seen these tools before, can pick up new tools quickly by learning-through-example, and probably won't be reading the manpage any time soon.
