I’m thinking of doing a series of post that will talk about Shell Scripting, scripting tutorial, examples, application… the whole nine yards of Unix/Linux shell scripts/programming.

The topic of shell scripting is a very broad topic and posting one super long post here will take me all day.. or weeks, depending on my mood. and internet searches.

So, this will be the start of a series of post about Shell scripts and shell programming. Every new post about scripting will be placed below, with link to the appropriate post.

And did a trend search for shell programming, shell scripts, shell tutorial and it’s alright. Though the volume of searches has been decreasing but that’s alright. There are still some.

Perfect!

“You’ll often hear members of our open source team say, ‘Every time you use Google, you’re using Linux.’ It’s absolutely true.” - That’s according to the people from Google.

Linux has been part of Google ever since the big search engine started doing their thing. “Linux has given us the power and flexibility we need to serve millions of users around the world.”

This is further verified when they stated that (every) Google engineer’s workstation runs some variant of Linux. Even the search result when you do a query on the search engine, those are brought to you by Linux.

I say, if Google uses Linux, let’s all do it!

Oh, by the way… Yahoo’s outgoing mail is powered by qmail, so I guess there is a big possibility that Yahoo too, is using Linux (or Unix, whichever).
