Handy online guide lists Linux shortcuts and commands
Jan. 13, 2006

Unixguide.net has published a valuable reference guide titled "Linux Shortcuts and Commands," aimed at new -- and relatively new -- Linux systems administrators. "This is a practical selection of the commands we use most often," write authors Stan and Peter Klimas.

"Press [Tab] to see the listing of all available commands (on your PATH). On my small home system, it says there are 2,595 executables on my PATH," the authors continue. "Many of these 'commands' can be accessed from your favourite GUI front-end (probably KDE or Gnome) by clicking on the right menu or button. They can all be run from the command line. Programs that require a GUI have to be run from a terminal opened under a GUI."

Linux Shortcuts and Commands includes a list of six basic "Notes for the Unix Clueless," for those just starting out with Linux. The article, which takes nothing for granted, also offers "Linux Essential Shortcuts and Sanity Commands," "Common Linux Commands," "Basic Operations," "Process Control," and several other topics.

The highly bookmarkable reference guide can be found here.
