I don't think it's possible to compile a list of ALL linux commands, as they are mostly individual applications added to Linux. The TLDP link is a great resource, though.

Your example (kernel version): uname -r

If you know the name of a command, you can do "man commandname" to get info on it (if it's installed on your system). If you don't know what the command name is, you could do "apropos keyword" to help you in the right direction.

Glad you are liking your Fedora distro. I'm in the same boat. I love it for it's stability and security over Windows. Anyways, I have found that apropos then the thing you're looking for command is really great. for instance, if you're looking for say, info on copying files, you would type in "apropos copy" without the quotes. Check out google as there are a TON of sites that have the most common commands linux has in it. Also, it wouldn't hurt to pick up a book from your local library (or amazon) They are FILLED with some neat tricks and tips that may help you along. I just picked up "Linux Server Hacks" and already I have found a nice little bit on doing a tar over ssh. Anyways, hope that helps!

The Rute has been around for quite a long time now (on the Linux timescale) and is very useful. It outlines several essential tasks and is always a good read to have around, newbie or not newbie.
