Hello
I'm new to debian and i hang out in the irc channels .. i realize
that irc is there really for support so i wanted to take my question
here ..
From the more exprienced Debian users can you guys paste or post a
list of the most common commands that you use
I already know of the docs like
debian-handbook
debian-kernel-handbook
debian-refernce
apt-common
And yes most of the manpages
What i really want are real life uses everyday ie.. do you use a lot
of dpkg commands do you use a lot of apt or aptitude commands everday
Also .. in your experience what are good handy tools we should have
and learn that are a must to be able to navigate / use Debian
still for me:
mc (in a text VT)
Hugo
I sent this before but it never showed up on the list. So:
This whole thread points out a major problem with using Linux. There is
no comprehensive, cross referenced, command dictionary anywhere. I have
a C programming reference that was written by Kernegian and Ritchy way
back when, which referenced the C commands by function, that I used to
live by. We need something like this for the Linux / Unix community. I
think a properly architectured WIKI would be a wonderful idea.
Unfortunately I don't feel I have the knowledge necessary to start one.
As an example, if I look up 'System Maintenance' I should get a sub list
of Aptitude, dpkg, apt-get etc, with a quick blurb on each. A newbe
could then make a choice of which package the wish to try. I've been
using Debian linux for over 15 years and am still finding commands that
are useful. The worst part is that I am loosing commands at about the
same rate because of only occasional use. It is really frustrating when
you know there is a command that you used 2 years ago that is exactly
what you need but can't remember its name.
