Some Linux Commands

Submitted by ashwin2rai on

Greetings,

This isn't majorly a Mechanics post but I've noticed that a lot of people have started using HPC's (which use Linux OS almost all the time), and Linux OS based desktops. It's slightly difficult for people to begin using linux but once you do there's no turning back. Here I aim to create a Linux Command cheat sheet that one can refer to. Or just have it printed and kept in the lab. 

Most of these were borrowed from tecmint.com but I've added in some more explanations and commands.
