It depends on your uses as others have said. In my case, I am a developer, which sadly does not uses linux at work (hopefully that'll change someday).
I prefer command-line to graphical file explorer, and have a tiling window manager (command-line without that kind of wm is a little less comfortable IMHO). So, here are my favorite commands: xdg-open cd (there are some tricks, like no args, using '/' or '~' to start the arg) cp mv ls -lh find -iname '*.foo' grep -lri <regex> (find files containing the regex) less cat cat <file> | grep <regex> (find all regex occurrences in file) echo du --max-depth=1 -h df -h mpc (for mpd control, mpd is a music player daemon) cmake make gcc / g++ xrandr syncclient ifup ifdown ifconfig some scripts (binded by keys in my window manager or not) I have in ~/.config/scripts, like one for rotating the screen of my netbook and opening a pdf (wide screen are not nice for reading novels) and software with some gui (ncurses or gtk is the same for me, anyway I often start them with commandline): aptitude ncmpcpp vim codeblocks meld galculator gftp uzbl wesnoth :D I think that on linux, everyone have his own real world, so you will have to learn by yourself depending on your favorite tools and uses. That's why I sometimes think that maybe linux is hard to use, unlike windows. Here, we can choose, and choosing wisely needs learning. An idea for that is to build a list of tools you use, by using zim, for example (a desktop wiki, very good to take notes). PS: I am only using debian for a day to day basis since 2 years, so I still have many things to learn, and many tools that lacks me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
