The 16 Linux Shell Commands Every Desktop Linux User Should Know
Some people still have a silly notion that to use Linux you must know Linux shell commands and syntax like the back of your hand. What nonsense! With any modern Linux desktop distribution, you no more need to use Linux commands like ps, grep, or ls than you need to use DOS commands in Windows today.
Except, of course, just as in Windows, every now and then it is helpful to use the good, old ASCII command-line instructions.
