| Hey DocZayus...that one-page manual is pretty neat haha.....There's one or two commands on there that I didn't know about that would have (or will) come in very handy lol

That's actually the first place I was sent when I asked my first noob question.
(what's the Linux equivalent for "dir"?)
This was way back in 99...
Nope, I never ordered one, though I should, just to help fund his website.

|

Notice the * in the Fosswire UNIX and Linux commands cheat sheet - use with GREAT caution!
I always say as a joke: run this command:
then RUN! 
A much more potentially dangerous command is this:
Reason? Unless you know where you are FOR CERTAIN, you may think you are removing your OWN directory but you may actually be deleting an entire directory tree somewhere ELSE!
Take the time and do a pwd before you run the command, and maybe even echo the command without running it to MAKE SURE you know where you are in the system and what the command is going to do.
Linux and UNIX are extremely powerful, but they ASSUME that YOU know what you are DOING. They are actually very stupid, but VERY GOOD at obeying orders, so be a good general and tell them the right thing! |
