    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.

      As Snowhog said: It is good to have Linux (Unix) book for references.

      Net is full of various Linux command list/howto's, here are two:

      Getting Started with BASH - A Bash Tutorial
      http://www.hypexr.org/bash_tutorial.php

      You can get info of commands in the konsole: man <command>

      Code:
      :~$ man man
      will tell:
      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] [-S list] [-e extension] [[section] page ...] ...
      man -l [-7] [-tZ] [-H[browser]] [-T[device]] [-X[dpi]] [-p string] [-P
      pager] [-r prompt] file ...
      man -k [apropos options] regexp ...
      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.
      and in the konqueror: man:<command>
      man:man will tell:

          Another excellent book is The Linux Cookbook 2nd Edition by Michael Stutz. It starts with the very basics and progresses from there. I always keep it close.

            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!
