Linux Basic Commands
Published on May 24th, 2006 by DannyT. Filed under LinuxI’ll be adding to this list as I go, it would seem even with the very beautiful Desktop engines (i’m using Gnome at the moment) there is still very much a necessity to know some command line stuff.
The Basics
Linux Console = Command Line in windows, there are various flavours available
File structure referencing = like in web development to refer to a file from root use “/foldername” or to refer to a file or folder in the current director no starting “/” just “foldername”
Simple Commands
cd = change directory E.g.
cd /home/username/Documents
mv = move files/folders E.g.
mv /home/username/Documents /home/username/
ls = List, similar to dir in command prompt will list the files and folders in the current directory
