I cannot remember the address off the top of my head, but it is linked from <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrisPeterman">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrisPeterman</a> People seemed to really like it :D Also right now here are the most useful ones ls: List the contents of the current directory (ls stands for LiSt) cd <directory>: Change to the directory <directory> (cd stands for Change Directory) cp <source> <dest>: Copy <source> to <dest> (cp stands for CoPy) mv <source> <dest>: Move <source> to <dest> (mv stands for MoVe) rm <file>: Delete file (rm stands for ReMove) And some other handy things. There are a bunch of built in aliases on the commandline, like "~" refers to your home directory ( /home/<username> ) so doing "cd ~" would bring you back to your home dir. ".." refers to the directory directly above the current one, so doing "cd .." in your home dir, would bring you to /home Hope that helps :D - -- ~ Chris "Kyral" Peterman Computer Science Undergraduate Clarkson University Associate Member of the Free Software Foundation Ubuntu Member -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEPlWPX41hkg8aZjkRAmbIAJ40c3cQXOnQodHvyfj7fNVw1aEYsQCgu5XX YF3ARZhx6k7AGNsJOUpk174= =wYbs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users"> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
