Re: commands
Generally, when one speaks of a 'command,' it is in reference to a running such within a console (Konsole in Kubuntu), which is a shell 'outside of' the KDE GUI desktop environment. You would be well served to pick up a reference book. One that I have on hand is Linux in a Nutshell, published by O'Reilly. There are others of course, but this is a good one to have. Then again, you can pick up any of the published books specifically on Ubuntu.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007.

MAN(1) Manual pager utils MAN(1)
NAME
man - an interface to the on-line reference manuals
SYNOPSIS
man [-c|-w|-tZ] [-H[browser]] [-T[device]] [-X[dpi]] [-adhu7V] [-i|-I]
[-m system[,...]] [-L locale] [-p string] [-C file] [-M path] [-P

pager] [-r prompt] file ...

man -f [whatis options] page ...
DESCRIPTION
man is the system’s manual pager. Each page argument given to man is
normally the name of a program, utility or function. The manual page
associated with each of these arguments is then found and displayed. A
section, if provided, will direct man to look only in that section of
the manual. The default action is to search in all of the available
sections, following a pre-defined order and to show only the first page
found, even if page exists in several sections.

Re: commands
I like and use the Linux Cookbook also for details on commands. There are some good sites on the web also like....
http://www.linuxcommand.org/
http://linuxreviews.org/beginner/
http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmd.htm
and many more, a good Google search for "learning Linux commands" works!
FYI - Google runs on Linux also!
