There are many different commands available in Linux. Some of the most basic are:

* ls - lists the contents of a directory * dir - same as above but with escaped spaces * mv - move a file * rm - delete a file (semi-permanent) * cat - reads a file * less - used to pipe lengthy output from a command so that it can be scrolled through. Use like ls | less. * cp - copy files. cp file1 file1copy

* grep - search for text in a file. Can also be used to search for words in a command output. Example: ls | grep partoffilename
