Basics In Unix/Linux Environment

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

I found many people/classmates looking for Linux commands. Normally they ask,

“is there any command in linux”
“what is the command in linux”
“how can I be familier with linux”
“I want to start learning linux”

I can tell some basic things to solve problems in *nux/*nix environment.
suppose I want to do a “stuff” say [stuff]
[stuff] may be play Freecell,
format drive, mount drive, filter packet, see available ports in use, blah blah blah …
try using google like this,

how to [stuff]
I want to [stuff]
way to [stuff]


etc

After this you might get a command [comm]. Normally peoples in forum/usenet will be talking about this as you search. I hope you get a command [comm]. If you don’t find anything then assume [comm]=[stuff].
Now try this things in any console (some consoles are, konsole, gnome-console, xterm)

[comm] –help
[comm] -h
[comm] -?
info [comm]
man [comm]

If you use koquorer (KDE Explorer), you can also enter these in the address bar

man:/[comm]
info:/[comm]

Now I think, You get your solution, Idea, concept.
