Since I am the primary admin for over 25 OS X systems, it's important to me to have plenty of places to get quick answers. Although books are quickly going the way of dinosaurs (at least those in printed form), I frequently get aggrevated at OS X articles on the Internet that don't mention the version being discussed. Since one must seach on the version number which is hit or miss if the content states something like: "this worked in 10.4 and stopped working in 10.5, but is working again in 10.6." Anyway, here's a list of Peachpit Press* books that are really pretty solid.

Keyboard shortcuts are precious when using the shell. I've listed some of my favorites, but this list is incomplete (to say the least). If you have already mastered the shortcuts that I've listed, then the next step is to read: man bashThe man[ual] page for the bash shell doesn't specify the ' alt' or ' option' key, it instead refers to ' mod' or modifier key. This article describes the modifier key behavior for Macs. Linux and Windows uses the 'alt' key in most cases. Also, note that the man page for bash refers to ' rubout'; this is the ' <-- Backspace' key for PC-based systems and ' delete' on Macs.

 Call me slow, but I just learned how to take a screen shot of my iPod Touch. It works on the iPhone as well.
1. Press and hold the Home button.
2. Press and release the sleep/wake button.
The screen will flash to let you know it took the picture. Your screen shot will land in the pictures widget.
