May I recommend to you, "Linux in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly. I have the 
6th edition, which may be the latest, and it's my Bible. Last I heard it 
was selling at half
price, i.e., around $25. From Amazon, of course. Not all commands, but 
certainly most, and with explanations and some examples. Well worth the 
price. And I
have no financial interest in the book or Amazon. Just buy it. You'll 
thank me!
