Hello Angeln,

99% of the commands are the same in all Linux distributions. The only 
commands that vary is the package manager (ie. for installing software).

There are two major groups:

* RPM distros: Red Hat, Mandriva, SuSE.
* DEB distros: Debian, Ubuntu, MEPIS, Knoppix, Linspire.

The package manager commands between these distros are different:
* RPM distros use the command 'rpm' to install software.
* DEB distros use the command 'apt-get' to install software.

Mandriva has also made a 'urpmi' program.

Best,
Daniel.
