Linux Basic Commands

I'll be adding to this list as I go, it would seem even with the very beautiful Desktop engines (i'm using Gnome at the moment) there is still very much a necessity to know some command line stuff.

The Basics

Linux Console = Command Line in windows, there are various flavours available

File structure referencing = like in web development to refer to a file from root use "/foldername" or to refer to a file or folder in the current director no starting "/" just "foldername"

Simple Commands

cd = change directory E.g.

cd /home/username/Documents

mv = move files/folders E.g.

mv /home/username/Documents /home/username/

ls = List, similar to dir in command prompt will list the files and folders in the current directory
