How can I learn basics of linux for an interview?

I need to learn the basics about linux urgently. I have an interview tomorrow in which I am expected to answer questions about linux. I have no prior knowledge of linux. Can anyone please tell me which ebook or anyother source (on the net) I should go through. I only have 6 to 8 hours with me. Please help

How can I learn basics of linux for an interview?
Don't.





Think of the consequences of what will be essentially bluffing/lying in an interview. They won't be fooled. They'll see you and think "this guy is bluffing, why on earth did he apply for this job when he clearly doesn't know Linux like we specified?".

Reply:Download a live linux CD like:





Knoppix, MEPIS, PCLinuxOS and either burn it to CD or use VMPlayer to run the ISO.

6-8 hours is not a lot of time to learn, understand and remember things, but the very basics.
Reply:Do a Google and hit a couple of the main players of linux. Linux is UNIX except it is open source.





good luck
