Some people do not  like Linux because of using shell commands. But I would like to tell them that I like Linux because of command line. With Linux you know what you are doing and you know what is going behind the process. Some time it is scary to see people working on terminal with shell commands. To be honest, for three years I spent working with Linux I found that the shell command are the same and intuitive for English speakers!

Here is the list of the commonly Used shell commands (not finished yet)

su: switch User

cd: change directory

pwd: print working directory

mkdir: make directory

rmdir: remove a directory (delete)

rm: remove file (delete a file)

cp: copy

mv: move

ls: list a directory content

The shell commands list is not finished yet, but what I would like to say is that Linux is easy to learn and do not be scared by command line. More to come.

For further information you can have a look at this web site .
