does linux have a "did you mean......" component for the command line like Google?

Or if it's one you frequently mis-type, (mine's "ifconifg"), chuck in a
.bash_aliases file, along the lines of:

  alias ifconifg='ifconfig'
  alias machine2='ssh foo at machine2.example.org'
  alias whatever='/path/to/app'

and make sure your .bashrc allows/includes the alias file.
