Linux commands
IS there any place where I can find detailed lists of all the available CLI commands in linux? Also, do all the Unix commands work in linux?
I was really amazed to see the wide range of commands linux offers...and the way several commands can be catenated to get the result. I am just starting off, and the grep command seems really powerful. Finding relevant stuff seems a breeze. I wonder why Unix never became as widespread and popular as Windows even with this wealth of powerful commands available at the users' disposal. |
There are many places on the web, just search for "Linux command reference" or "Linux quick reference" and pick your favorite
Start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_commands or here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Linux BUT it is not guaranteed to have every command available on every Unix or every Linux installation. Any Unix command should have its equivalent in GNU/Linux, but some have a different syntax or extended functionality. > I wonder why Unix never became as widespread and > popular as Windows even with this wealth of powerful > commands available at the users' disposal. * sometimes, less is more * Unix has been very costly until GNU was created * Unix has been created in a time when the main purpose of a computer was to program on it (and that shows in the fact that some of its utilities are in fact mini-programming-languages), but the purpose has shifted with computers gaining popularity * You know, Bill Gates&friends had some nifty and insidious tricks available to get people to use their crap * Unix was quite widespread, and its descendants still are |
