Hi,

A good place to ask questions like you have been asking is 
StackExchange. Specifically the Unix/Linux site or if you have an ubuntu 
specific question ask on the ubuntu site.
http://unix.stackexchange.com/
http://askubuntu.com/

Each of the existing answers are tagged with various keywords so you can 
look up potential answers before you ask specific questions. For 
instance you can get all answers tagged with "bash" at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/bash

Hope this is useful.

Regards

Richard
