Hi, Frank already posted a link I would point to from my LQ's blog page in the first link in my signature(6) I also just bookmarked a good link from chrism01: http://www.linuxtopia.org/ :D

whoami

man ?

Try this as a quick reference always at hand.

I like

cat

or more relevant to "free the fish" 'cat /proc/meminfo'

]You just asked a question with endless answers.

Before you ask what are basic commands, ask your self what you are trying to do for starters, then you'll figure out basic commands per task.

Mostly though varry basic.

• shutdown
• reboot
• whoami
• date
• man
• cd
• sudo
• su
• rm
• mkdir
• rmdir
• service
• vi
• nano
• pico
• top
• ps
• free
• df
• fdisk
• less
• more
• cat
• grep
• ifconfig
• and many many more

`man` is among the most important
