What is a good site/book that briefly goes over all linux commands ?

Question

Some tools like grep, wget, etc can be used to do some amazing things with all the options and piping - what's a resource that'll go over cool stuff to do with these and that is less verbose than the man pages ?

Answer 1

This one doesn't cover all linux commands, but it will help you understand the command line.



http://linuxcommand.org

Answer 2

I've seen some "tips and tricks" books in the book store, check there. Also do a google for linux tips and tricks, etc. There are resources out there, just search for them....



If you want more on grep try searching for a "grep tutorial" etc.



Keep in mind that grep, wget etc. are NOT linux commands. Linux is only the kernel. The other programs are just other open-source commands that run under linux. Things like ls, delete, rm, cat... all just commands. The Linux kernel itself doesn't provide much in the way of commands. It is what allows the other commands to access your hardware, communicate with you and your computer etc.

Answer 3

There are so many sites that publish Linux command references, that you should be able to find one that suits you simply by searching Yahoo! or Google.



That said, these are some good ones:

Answer 4

O'Reilly's "Linux in a Nutshell", ISBN 0-596-00025-1



It's a self-labeled quick reference.
