More out of necessity rather than choice, which is typically always the case with IT/geek related things I have learned and know how to do, I am using the Linux command line more these days. This is a list of commands and tricks I have learned that I use, which I am posting for my own reference as well as for others who may benefit.Handy LINUX commands for referenceShift-Insert pastes the clipboard’s text into the terminalUp arrow displays the last terminal commandTab completes the path name or file nameCLEAR (like cls in DOS to clear the current terminal window screen)ls (like dir in DOS, shows a current directory file listing)cp (like copy in DOS)cd .. (changes the directory down one level, just like DOS)sudo (preceed a command with sudo to do that command as root, will require the root password)sudo -s -H (for the current terminal session, this keeps you logged in as root)My updated Linux-related social bookmarks are also available.
