RFC - Linux Command Cheatsheet

[Dazed_75]

Good job Dennis.  Of course everyone, including me, may have suggestions.


   - pg 1, top of column 2:  please verify that user#host:~/dir is
   sufficient to sync
   - Caution that runlevels are not standard across distributions and can be
   modified
   - Instead of Ubuntu and CentOS pkg mgmt, maybe deb and rpm based pkg mgmt
   - drop more if it helps, after all less is more
   - alias, chmod, chown, passwd

A more general note is that I find most cheat sheets spend way too much
space on the things the user doesn't need reminders on after the first day
or two.  Before I looked at yours, I was going to suggest a short section
that just listed the most common commands without explanation since they are
not likely to be forgotten.  A corollary could be a section only listing
further commands to explore.  After looking at your sheet, neither seems
practical.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.
