Keyboard shortcuts

Linux: your grandma can do it.


Most of the people thinks that Linux is most difficult Operating system to use. I want to say that it is in your mind just give it a try and you will forget other OS forever. Ubuntu is the most user friendly, Linux based Operating system.

Man Command

The first command(cmd) that is most important is man command. man cmd is an interface to the on-line reference manuals.
Terminal is like a command prompt in window. Terminal provides a command line interface.
Open a terminal and write  man with the topic name or cmd name eg. man fprintf, man man


It will provide every information about that topic or cmd(command).

History

Linux is a Unix based operating system. Linux is developed by Linus Torvalds and first version of Linux kernel is released on 5th oct 1991.


Linux was originally developed for Intel x86-based personal computers but now it has been ported to more computer hardware platforms than any other operating system. Linux is used on desktops, server,  and in supercomputers. 10 fastest supercomputer runs on some variant of Linux. Linux also runs on embedded systems such as mobile phones, tablet computers, network routers, televisions and video game consoles. The Android system in wide use on mobile devices is built on the Linux kernel.

Linux is a free and open source software. Free means you have not to pay for this Operating system like window. Open source means you are free to used, modified, and distributed source code, commercially or non-commercially by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License.

Linux come with a lot variety of desktop environments:-
1. Gnome

Linux Commands

Next cmd is sudo cmd
sudo cmd means "take actions as superuser".
When you type sudo before a cmd it will provide you the super user (root) powers.
eg open terminal type 
sudo shutdown -h now after hitting enter it will ask for password enter the password of root user and your system will shutdown.
