Using the command line
Submitted by andrew on Thu, 05/29/2008 - 07:58.
The Ubuntu-rescue-remix live system provides a complete Unix command-line environment without any graphical user interface. Do you find the GNU/Linux command-line difficult to learn?
Here are some links to help beginners get used to the command line interface:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/basic-commands/C/
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommandlineHowto
Please suggest any other resources to add to the list. As well, if you know of any way to improve the usability of the rescue remix, please suggest them in the Help and Discussion section.
Thanks.

One of the best lists of command line commands is here:
http://info.lindows.com/linspireoscommands.html
The list is good because it sorts the commands by type, so that a user can find the command based on what they want to do.
This list was the basis for the Debian/Ubuntu package "debram":

Also useful are reference cards like this one:

Thanks Menachem! I may include some of those in the next version of the rescue remix. They seem to be GFDL, so that would make them redistributable.
I particularly like the reference card.
Thanks for digging these
Thanks for digging these links up. I had no idea Ubuntu's documentation had progressed to this level of detail. Keep up this kind of stuff coming, and of course keep working on the awesome rescue disc!
@Menachem That's definitely a useful reference card that's been floating a round for a while, but that first link isn't working anymore, I guess Lindows and Linspire aren't really happening any more?
