Summary

This PR fixes one broken external link from issue #4209.

The old beginner Linux command-line guide link in Creating-A-Workspace.rst no longer works reliably, so this PR replaces it with Ubuntu’s beginner command-line tutorial.

Changes

  • Replaced the broken SFU Linux command-line guide link.
  • Kept the change limited to one beginner tutorial prerequisite link.

Testing

I ran:

  • make html
  • make lint
  • make spellcheck
  • curl -I https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/command-line-for-beginners

The replacement link returned HTTP/2 200.

make linkcheck may still report unrelated broken links tracked by #4209.

Part of #4209.

AI assistance disclosure

I used Claude Code to help locate and edit the link, then manually reviewed the diff and test results before submitting.

I updated the replacement link to use the newer Ubuntu Desktop documentation URL.

I re-ran:

https://www2.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/reference/unix/ seems working with no problems for me, what is the problem on this site? and this PR needs rebase.

Thank you for the PR!

  • Please resolve the merge conflict
  • It looks like the existing link works, but I think we don't have much of an opinion on who teaches someone about the linux command line. Would you be willing to turn this into a bulleted list with both links? That way if one goes down, the reader can choose the other one.
