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.

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.

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)

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.

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
