Terminal Cheat Sheet
So far I’ve been able to copy and paste every command I’ve needed to enter into the terminal via detailed online tutorials. But it would be nice to actually grasp what the heck I’ve been doing for the last while.
Still not quite 100% with Ubuntu. I tried watching a fullscreen video a couple days ago, kept freezing up, dropping frames, etc., on a vid that plays fine on my 4 year old iBook. Something ain’t right. Also, had to hard-reset after it locked up while totally idle except for a basic screensaver. Hmm.
I’m amazingly more tolerant of minor bugs when they come with a system offered freely and supported passionately, as opposed to one that charges stupidly and treats me like a criminal. I’m willing to invest the effort to get this to work.
Linux users: Don’t fear the terminal! Take the plunge and learn the basics of the terminal with the printable guide put together by FOSSwire. FOSSwire covers the very basic ins-and-outs of the terminal on a one page PDF. Included in the guide are commands for: working with files, obtaining system information, managing processes and file permissions, file compression, shortcuts, network management, and SSH. This guide is perfect for recent switchers ready to take the terminal head-on. While you’re learning the terminal, turbocharge it.
