Recommend a good Linux Cheatsheet
Hello
New to Linux, can anyone recommend a good cheatsheet for me? I did a few google's but nothing decent came up. Also, what does Debian based mean? I know Knoppix is Debian based but it means nothing to me, I woukd like to know about the system I am trying to learn. Another I have been told is RPM based...? Thanks Hong |
Debian-based means it's based on the distribution debian. That means it'll use apt to install and manage packages on the system. It has a lot of similarities with debian in how it works. Rpm is another way to manage packages and it's used by other distributions.
Do you mean a cheatsheet as in a list with command line commands? Or programs you can run? |
Debian is a distro, one of the first. Debian based distro are based on it and also use the Advanced Package Tool (apt) and .deb files for package management.
RPM (Redheat Package Manager) based distros are based on Red Hat and use a different form of package management with files ending in .rpm. Both .debs and .rpms suck and anyone with any sense compiles from source to avoid dependency hell. |
