Linux commands
Where can I find a list or how-to about Linux prompt commands? Also, I want to install a package from a prompt (like KDE), how do I go about it?

as far as question number 2. depends on what the installer is and your distro... *.tar.gz (or other archive package) or a binary (like rpm). |
yep, tar.gz
|
untar the tarball and usually there's a README or INSTALL text file with install instructions. most of time, from what i've installed from tarballs, it's:
1. cd installer_directory 2. ./configure 3. make 4. su <enter root password> 5. make install |
Thanks... but more simple and immediate stuff... like.. how do I change directories? :p
|
cd </path/directory> ;)
|
duh @ me...

You can find the basic commands here: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
Check the O'Reilly books Unix in a Nutshell, Linux in a Nutshell, that sort of thing. Do a google, there's plenty out there. |
I'm using redhat 9 so i borrowed a book from the library called:
RedHat - Linux Complete Command Reference. get this....its like 1400 pages!!!!!LOL:D |
Start small and work your way up.
