    Looking at my .bash_history, here are the commands I use the most:-

    ls
    cd
    rm
    mkdir
    ps
    kill
    fg
    chmod
    make
    ./configure
    ruby
    gem
    find
    grep
    vi
    git
    man
    ln
    curl

    Keep using linux more and more and you will learn commands as you go. Usually I find that there is always a "command for that". Shell Scripting on *nix is fun!

      well sudo only substitutes root to execute a command then do a command thereafter, I am familiar with sudo from using ubuntu but I mean for more I/O and file manipulation with the terminal. I am not sure if it works in OpenSuse I havent tried. Rama Krishna Vavilala: You rock im gonna man the commands and play with them a little or maybe a lot. =)

        I rarely use that one since I usually just do maintenance using the root user. I am not using ubuntu however.

          Very similar for me with a few omissions (no vi, ruby, gem) but add emerge, xargs, awk, nano, screen and use wget instead of curl.

            I actually like Ubuntu's use and abuse of sudo... really makes you double-think what you're about to do.

              Heya guys, I was just wondering what the top used linux commands are and which ones would be easier to learn while im in my linux class. We pretty much already have the history unix/linux down now we are into using terminal. Of course, we do use putty to log into ssh and we are limited to the commands we can use, but I want to know what I can use on a daily basis to help me get through term. Or better yet, what commands do you use daily?

                    You are the once learning linux, why not just get a book of comands and use them? Why do you care which are the most used, its like caring whether people drink tea from cups or mugs. Just get on with it and do it yourway! :)

                      The top used command is top.

                          about 98% of my shell sessions look like this after login:

                          killall -9 psybnc
                          cd psybnc
                          ./psybnc

                          They used to be longer, I've learned that the logs are utterly useless and won't give any indication of why I had to thump it.
