    Some very useful commands that are build in to the system.
    One or more letters followed by tab lists all commands beginning with those letters.
    Pressing tab twice in a terminal gives all commands.
    And with <apropos> followed by keywords it lists commands that have to do with those keywords.
    Can't tell an OS by it's GUI

    And if you need to know the options following that command, chances are there are manpages built into your system for them.

    Ex. for mkdir:
    testbox:~ # man mkdir
    I praise Webmin and PuTTy!

    I posted a good commands list link above, but here's another one that I should have included:
