You will soon (with use) get to know all the simple commands that are used every day. A Unix book for beginners is a good start. What is more difficult are the many various 'switches' that can be used on command lines which vary between different Unix/Linux OS's, and for this purpose, unlike OS's like Windows, the user manual is always online by using the man command.

e.g.

Code:
man ls

Like all of us, you will never remember all the possible switches for a particular command but you can always refer to the user manual on-screen. Great isn't it!!
