    Here are the most important terminal commands every Ubuntu                                    Newbie should know

In Ubuntu, there is a SuperUser named Root. The Windows equivalent of Root is Administrators group. The SuperUser can do anything and everything, and thus doing daily work as the SuperUser can be dangerous. You could type a command incorrectly and destroy the system. Ideally, you run as a user that has only the privileges needed for the task at hand. In some cases, this is necessarily Root, but most of the time it is a regular user.

By default, the Root account password is locked in Ubuntu. This means that you cannot login as Root directly or use the su command to become the Root user. However, since the Root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This is where sudo comes in - it allows authorized users to run certain programs as Root without having to know the root password

Answer 3

I have begun with Linux Bible. But also suitable would be Ubuntu Bible or Ubuntu Official Handbook.

In my opinion the best way is to read a bit everyday and try to use this knowledge right after reading. And in case of problems not described in the books, this forum will probably help. I've used many forums in different topics, but this is one of the most friendly and helpful and alive.
