This is NOT the kind of thing I would want to have to go on-line every time I wanted to look at it. I may take the trouble to figure out how to download it (other than the terribly tedious way), but I wish people who are going to make these things available would think about how users are going to want to read them.


I understand your frustration.  If you'd like to have an offline
version of that guide, you can do this:

From the terminal:

$ cd {to the directory you want to download to}
$ wget -m -L http://tille.garrels.be/training/bash/

This will create  a folder with the entire online guide downloaded for
offline use.  I've had to do this for some of the guides I use and it
usually works quite well.  Its not as elegant as having a single html
or PDF, but it gets the job done.
