FreeBSD and Linux commands at your finger tips

Would you like to have all the important Linux and FreeBSD commands with suitable examples fit in a couple of pages ? If you do, then you have got your wish.

Colin Barschel has put together what he calls the Unix Toolbox. This is a fabulous piece of compilation which contain all the frequently useful commands in Linux and their equivalents in FreeBSD. This document covers a wide range of topics divided into 22 sections such as system, processes, file systems, network related, VPN, cryptography, installing and managing software and so on.

What I really like about Unix toolbox is that it is well structured, each section has a Linux subsection immediately followed by a FreeBSD subsection which explains equivalent commands in FreeBSD. Secondly, the document is made available in multiple formats namely PDF, HTML page, booklet version fit to be printed and made into a small booklet and so on.

A very good resource for any Linux/FreeBSD enthusiast. There is also an additional bonus. Visit the homepage of this site and you get a FreeBSD console right within your web browser. As of now there are 30 commands which can be used. Colin has used the termlib library to create the virtual terminal.

Shell-fu - Is a great site with a growing collection of command line goodies. What makes it interesting is that there are multiple combinations of commands which achieve different tasks. And users can submit and vote for their favorite commands.

Dot files - If you precede a file with a dot, it is considered as a hidden file in Linux. There are numerous hidden files in Linux. The standard ones being .bashrc, .profile, .Xdefaults, .xinitrc and so on. But it doesn't limit to these files. Many applications create hidden files too.

Enter the following command in your terminal to see the hidden files in your home directory.
