You want to learn and use the LS command in the terminal. It will tell you all your directories and hardware.

So open your terminal and type in LSHW, it will look like this:

What you get in return will look like this ):

There is also LSPCI which will tell you your drivers, and LS which will locate file directories ... Just search google for 'LS command linux' and it should pop up some tutorials. Hope this was useful.



EDIT: Also take a look at this link, It was my Wallpaper for the longest time and proved to be very helpful:

Please keep in mind that Linux is case-sensitive. Giving a newbie commands in capital letters may be very confusing, since they just won't work typed in capital letters.

Hackers tend to use quotes as balanced delimiters like parentheses, much to the dismay of American editors. Thus, if “Jim is going” is a phrase, and so are “Bill runs” and “Spock groks”, then hackers generally prefer to write: “Jim is going”, “Bill runs”, and “Spock groks”. This is incorrect according to standard American usage (which would put the continuation commas and the final period inside the string quotes); however, it is counter-intuitive to hackers to mutilate literal strings with characters that don't belong in them. Given the sorts of examples that can come up in discussions of programming, American-style quoting can even be grossly misleading. When communicating command lines or small pieces of code, extra characters can be a real pain in the neck.

Consider, for example, a sentence in a vi tutorial that looks like this:

Then delete a line from the file by typing “dd”.

Standard usage would make this

Then delete a line from the file by typing “dd.”

but that would be very bad — because the reader would be prone to type the string d-d-dot, and it happens that in vi(1), dot repeats the last command accepted. The net result would be to delete two lines!

I agree, they mean different things t othe computer depending on case. I don't capitalize them even if they're the first word in a sentence.

This reminds me of another thing that often bothers me, that's well explained here:
