number of operating systems from one computer using

their website
here.
Quickly search manuals in Linux and Unix
Users who have the manuals installed on their computer can
quickly search those manuals by typing "man -k
keyword". This is great for locating a command you may
not be able to remember.
Additional information about the man command can be found
here.

shortcuts
Get the latest Unix/Linux shortcuts by visiting our
Unix/Linux
shortcut page.
Create
aliases for commands
Create an alias for commands
frequently forgotten, cause issues or long commands.
For example, you may type
edit
to edit a file when in Linux or Unix. However, users who may be
new to Linux or Unix may not be able to use the edit program
or this may cause an error message.
Set the edit command for an easier to use editor such as
pico.
Below is an example:
alias edit pico
