A Linux Quick Reference to Useful Commands

Related Reading Linux Pocket Guide By Daniel J. Barrett

Editor's note: After Daniel J. Barrett finished writing the Linux Pocket Guide, O'Reilly's latest offering in its pocket series, the marketing folks said, wait, hold on, we have one more thing we'd like you to do. That one more thing turned out to be the "Linux Quick Reference to Useful Commands," Daniel's hand-selected list of the most essential Linux commands and the tasks they perform.

We are presenting this quick reference as a PDF download. The file size is a little over 100KB. It's just the type of reference -- like the Linux Pocket Guide itself -- that you will want to keep right by your keyboard for those times when you need a fast, useful answer to a problem. Download the "Linux Quick Reference to Useful Commands."

And if you're looking for yet another useful reference to Linux commands, be sure to check out the Linux Command Directory -- a comprehensive list of 379 commands, their descriptions, and available options -- derived from O'Reilly's Linux in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition.

Daniel J. Barrett has been immersed in Internet technology since 1985. Currently, he is working as a software engineer. He is the author of O'Reilly's Linux Pocket Guide, and the coauthor of two more O'Reilly books: Linux Security Cookbook, and SSH, The Secure Shell: The Definitive Guide.

  I like the idea of having both a single page copy and a three wide copy of the document, but why is there no "3-up" copy of the second page? And, it would be more useful / easier to print the version you wanted, if the two single page versions were together, and then have two "3-up" versions together, so you could print range 1-2 or 3-4, and get the style of copy you wanted. Having to print page 1,3 seems a bit odd....

  So much more useful that pages 1 to 4 are identical, just in case you forget.
