Mel 0 Posted January 28, 2004 Hello fellow nubees If you're as confused as I am you may want to check out a web page Dapper Dan led me to. At http://www.ss64.com/bash/ you can get an A-Z list of Bash commands and Linux Bash syntax. While there,click on STUFF. You will find a list of very informative pages. Clicking on "Alphabetical Directory of Linux Commands" will take you to http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ . There you will find an A-Z list of Linux commands.Clicking on a command will give you the syntax and switches for that command. . . The more I learn, the less I know. Share this post Link to post
Mel 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Well I'm also a newbe and at least as confused as you but if you will check out " http://www.oreillynet.com/linux/cmd/ " there is an A-Z list of linux commands that may help.By clicking on any command in the list ,you'll get information on that command. I printed the list and it helps a lot. Share this post Link to post
Maillion 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Both sites have about the same content. I would be a bit more trusting of the O'Reilly one, because O'Reilly is a commercial publisher, and thus will update more often, just to keep their trust... Either one will supply the commands. There are command info available on documentation that is usually installed along with your distro. It may give you the newest info available than is on these sites, regardless. It doesn't give a full list, at least in the distros I've used (at least I haven't found such a list yet) so you could go to one of these sites, and find the correct name for a particular command, then check your documentation to make sure you are getting the latest updated info... 8) Share this post Link to post

Mel 0 Posted January 31, 2004 I'm just figuring out a few commands but at least Linux remembers what the commands are supposed to do and unlike that other OS doesn't keep trying to force you to reinstall programs you uninstalled because you have no use for them. Share this post Link to post
Corvus 0 Posted February 7, 2004 I remember the first time I decided to memorize all the switches for ls ting the directories.. ) For Dos.. dir /oen/w/p pretty straight forward. right? (orders by extension then name in wide format, and one page(screen) at a time..) ..But I did type it .. oh.. caps.. or oh.. small.. ACK! ) COMBINATIONS! crazy Share this post Link to post
