Basic Ubuntu command or script list
I am completely new to Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux in general. I have spent many years in the past using DOS and I consider myself to be at advanced level with various Windows platforms.
I have just download Ubuntu 10.04 and burnt to disk. So now I need to know please, is there a list of basic commands, or whatever they are called, with which to get started ?
My latest download of mtCellEdit calls for various items to be installed and I have not yet been able to find them. They are "
NU or GNU-like toolchain including gcc, make, bash, and yacc/Bison.
GTK+ version 2 (specifically 2.6 or later).
Cairo."
Then the following libraries are required: -mtKit zlib Low level C routines, including strings, UTF-8, ZIP file handling, preferences, trees. libmtcelledit mtKit The spreadsheet engine, including all file handling and general operations. mtPixel mtKit The graphics engine, including font rendering, file handling, and painting. mtcedgraph mtKit, libmtcelledit, mtPixel, Cairo The graphing engine, including all file handling and general operations. mtGEX mtKit, mtPixel Various GTK+ version 2 function utilities including a file picker, colour picker, and preferences editor.
Are there any shortcuts to all this as it is so time consuming?
I have struggled some time ago with C++ so, as I see that C is used here, I hope that will be less demanding?
Hoping for helpful suggestions please
