@CharlesDarwin: What is wrong with you dude? I have yet to see a post from you that hasn't been dugg down. This is a great resource for newbs, so go s**t a brick, retard!
This is all fine and good but what I find lacking sometimes are helpers on installing packages. A few of the commands listed aren't even defaulted in most linux distros. I find that instead of wanting to know how to run a command and it's syntax a lot of people are clueless on how to use a specific package manager or how to build from source. I know it's off topic but I wish there was more of that out there. For f**k's sake it didn't even list man! One of the most useful tools for a unix/linux n00b!!!
@kolop1Everyone that has read this thread, is now less intelligent than they were before reading it, thanks to your comment. Other than my sentiment above, there aren't many replies to your thread so far that I disagree with. That cheatsheet mostly outlined administrative tasks that are either: A. Automated by GUI, or B: Solely adminstrative/programming tasks. When is the last time you had to walk a basic user through MSDOS commands?
Tried SUSE as well, got a number of other problems. Don't get me wrong, I really really want to ditch Windows and start using Linux. But instead of being able to start using the Linux for work and fun, I found myself spending hours and hours in Linux documentations, forums, HowTo, etc. Each problem took painstakingly amount of effort and time to solve.
@airjrdn::Your problem with that machine you loaded Ubuntu on you stated well yourself "OLD". On something like that, scrape up a copy of QNX 6.1 and install it. It will make a 300MHz machine way faster than a 1.5GHz running Win98 etc., is POSIX compliant, and you can tell it to be compatible with Linux on install and add many of hte Linux programs later when/if you want. Some of the internal shell commands are different from some linux ones, but mostly it's the same. :-)
Well, this is a late comment- nobody will read it (oh well)...very nice. definitely not for noobs though. I'm still trying to teach my techs how to use the basics :( cd/chmod/chown/mkdir/rm... As I was typing this I just realized how pathetic my help is.. no wonder I get no sleep :(
If I had a penny for every blank stare after trying to explain "chmod -R 777 /FolderName" I'd have at least 1 billion dollars..."7 is 111 in binary -- read write ex...""?? ? ? huh ? ? ??""God damn it. Just type what I tell you and forget about it." :(

Great, but I think you should have left the url to the original author.

I communicate with everyone via a system of pokes and jabs. It works great, and it's so discoverable!
