one cool trick most linux shells offer is 'completion' meaning:
type a few letters and press TAB, to see what's available
that starts with that 'string' of letters.
try
mo<TAB>
apt<TAB>
add<TAB>
loc<TAB>
and then to find more out about any of those, try
man <command>
info <command>
[browse to] localhost/doc/<command> or <command>-doc
<command> --help
commands available to your account are those in directories
mentioned in your $PATH variable. try
echo $PATH
to see them -- then nose around in each to see what's there.
