Hi,
I have found that use of the terminal command line a very usefull tool for fixing or finding out various information about the system. HOwever i have never been able to find a document that lists all the avialable linux terminal commands. Is there such a document?

Cheers.

“su” -Changes your terminal login to root
“sudo” -Allows you to execute a file as root while logged in as a user
“lshw” -Lists Hardware. Recommended to run as root
“dmesg” -Print or control the kernel ring buffer. Usually works as user or root
“ls” -Can do more than the 'dir' in dos
“lsusb” -Lists detected usb devices.
“lspci” -Lists detected pci devices
“lsmod” -Lists modules loaded on your system
“grep” -Filters information from some of the above commands
“fdisk -l” -Lists all current drives. (note -l is lowercase -L)
“uname -r” -Gives you your current kernel version (useful information)

use 'man (command)' for help and advanced uses

'q' quits man

Good Luck.

found this between my old files.

Uh, no. No such list can possibly exist because as you install new software it adds new commands. The lists provided could be very comprehensive lists of builtins or commonly installed utilities, but asking for a list of every possible linux command is like asking for a list of all insects in the amazon rainforest; no one has it. I've got a few that I know you don't have 'cause I wrote them and they only exist on my computers. There are plent more that you would need to discover and install to be able to use. If you want a list of the commands available to you on your system start with this:

that should give you most of the ones at your fingertips because that's where they live.

There are many sites for command line tutorials. Search google and youtube, and you'll find plenty. The above link gives basic to advance commands.

try xman

And if you have money, buy "Linux in a nutshell" but don't pay over $20. You can probably find an old edition at Fry's Electronics in the bargain bin.
