Onlamp has a large list:
http://www.onlamp.com/linux/cmd/

If you want to see a list of commands on your own machine try hitting tab twice.

If you want a list of all the commands on your system, you can hit <tab> twice on a terminal and or console, it will ask you to list all the commands in your users path, etc...

I don't think I'm going to memorize all my commands!

Maybe I should get to work

when you install a program, that will become a command (provided it is in the path). for example galeon is a command on my system to launch a web browser. does that make it a "linux commmand"? no, since it is in no way present on most linux system. the GNU system commands on the other hand are always present so i would count them as "linux commands."

Brain fart. It happens sometimes. What makes be mad is when I come up with something good and then forget what it was. Oh, I'll remember that I came up with something, just can't remember what it was. Crappie medicine makes me forget sometimes. I need a cure not treatment.

Still a lot of commands no matter what they are for. I suspect that I will be for a while.

Parden me. I have to figure out why I just refilled my printer catridge with ink and the darn thing won't print at all now. It was printing, just kind of light. I think it was running low.

Later.
