I'm not sure your question can be answered as asked. The commands available on a Linux machine vary by what is installed on the system.

I looked at

http://www.digitechcomputers.com

and noticed all the screenshots are from Win32.

Are you looking for the Linux equivalent of all the commands built into Microsoft's command.com? ______________________________________________________________________

No the basic commands like copying files, changing directories ect.

It's tough to answer this question because the "commands" in Linux are each individual programs that usually reside in /sbin or /bin. They can each be removed, modified, or added more or less independently of each other. Across the different distributions, some command line programs are identical, many are very similar, but many are found only in some distributions.

There is a "man" page (short for "manual&quot for almost every typical linux command line program. For example, typing "man ls" will give you documentation on the ls program.

http://www.linuxdocs.org

has a complete reference library for linux, including many HOWTOs for switching from Windows to linux.

Here's a short list. All of them have a slew of options

ls - directory listing
cd - change directory
mv - move. Also used to rename
cp - copy
rm - remove
cat - similar to, but with greater functionality than, type in ms-dos
mkdir - make a directory
rmdir - remove a directory (can also be accomplished by issuing "rm -R" (recursive) on a directory name)
less - similar to "more", but does more.
pwd - print working directory.

Does this help? ______________________________________________________________________

Heres a bit of a list that might help -- read the whole thing if you have a chance, I found it worthwhile.

A very good book that lists almost all of the Linux commands and their options is O'Reilly's Linux in a Nutshell, Third Edition. You can pick it up from Amazon for about $25.
