Basic navigation in Unix/Linux systems

If you do not have any Unix/Linux systems, we would suggest downloading the virtual machine together with the Unix/Linux system on your current OS.

For Ubuntu 20.04 on VMware workstation:

For Ubuntu 20.04 on Oracle VirtualBox:

If you are not familiar with Unix/Linux systems, please go through the resources listed below to gain knowledge of command-line basic navigation in these operating systems (through terminal/console, bash or c shell).

One of a good links is this one curated by University of Surrey:

Another good one is this one from the ubuntu distribution (including some history):

and this one (although a bit more advanced):
