[SOLVED] Ubuntu server ver.11 Command list

virgodave61 · 06-20-2011, 02:23 PM

Would like a command line list of commands, that I can print out, I know this would be allot of pages. Hopefully with examples of usage. I have tons of books and the net, but its a royal pain searching for the right command, need something I can flip through. If you haven't guessed I'm a total noob!
PS I love this place and all who help the noobs!
Thanks
Dave

A quick Google for "Ubuntu cheat sheet" turns up plenty of useful looking links.

I'm giving up on this, thanks for trying to help but a cheat sheet is just that one sheet, I need more like a cheat book, something more complete to flip through. I'm giving up on this.Totally frustrated, If I ever stop being a noob I will fix this. Don't understand how others learn, I guess if you have to search through 4" books and the net for something every time your more likely to remember it.

I've always found this site good http://linux.die.net/man/. also /usr/share/doc http://rute.2038bug.com/node19.html.gz#tex2html2036.
www.linuxtopia.org has a shed load of books; you should be able to find what you're looking for in there.

I would definitely recommend learning some shell - you'll learn a lot of the commands and usage along the road. There are some excellent tutorials and examples online that are easy to follow along with given that you have a small amount of prior programming experience.

For a quick down and dirty ref list, I would definetly recommend this one, it's got the most common commands, and you can click on any and get the man page (assuming you're too lazy to open up a shell and use man)
