command overview?
 

hi

i'm a linux beginner and i'm looking for a list of handy commands for the terminal
Is there some list somewhere?
It's difficult to guess them all if you are just a beginner

Check out this list.

if you think having to guess the actual commands is hard, wait till you have to remember all the different options/switches they use :-D

Take a look at linuxcommand.org.

Nice list - pitty that awk/gawk's brief description is just
wrong :) ... awk DOESN'T do in-place editing.

A wise man once said: you don't need to know
everything - you just need to know where to find
it.

To the OP: have a look at
/bin
/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/X11/bin
to see pretty much all executables in your system. ;0

If something doesn't suggest anything about its
purpose use "man <filename>" to find out what
it does.


Cheers,
Tink
