Tim Driven Development | Test until the fear goes away
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

I am going for a job interview and feel comfortable with most on the job spec but have not worked on Linux / Unix before.
The job spec states 'A working understanding of Linux is necesary, we use the Bash shell.'
Can I ask regarding the bash shell is this just the Linux equivilant of command line? I have gone through a few tutorials and the Linux command line seems fine as I am familar with some of the commands but is this the same as the 'bash shell'.
Any hints / tips on what to study/learn to get the basics of this so that I can speak about it in the interview would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Absolutely, positively, not. Just as a simple example, you can't emulate the Gimp or Firefox from the command line.
