UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Does anyone know where I should go to get a list of unix commands? I'm also a new user to unix/ redhat linux which I just loaded to my computer, but I'm having username and password problems confused ?

I haven't found a place where you can have a list of commands on Linux. Some "commands" come from the shell you are using (most probably "bash"). Most others are actually executable programs (not really "commands" anyway) installed on your Linux system. The list of executable programs installed vary from system to system, so it's impossible to give you a complete list of "commands" as you mentioned.

But you may try here for a list of online manual pages that are available on a typical Red hat system, but be prepared most manpages are not immediately easy-to-read, especially for beginners:

But you should already have these man pages on your hard disk anyway.

Sorry to be blunt, but a simple Google search would return a million websites; here's three of them:

http://www.bsd.org/unixcmds.html
http://www.emba.uvm.edu/CF/basic.html
http://www.indiana.edu/~uitspubs/b017/

just use the command "man" which will guide u to list all the commands.

savagebeast,

Here's a couple of lists to get you started:

for just a list of commands and if your using bash as your shell yuo can just hit tab one an empty command line, all possible shell input is listed.
