From WINDOWS to UBUNTU

After using Windows OS for many years, it was quite difficult to switch over to UBUNTU. First impression for Ubuntu was: Its not that user friendly. The fact is, its simple, user friendly and programmer friendly.

Ubuntu is Linus based OS. Linux is the kernel of Ubuntu. kernel is something which makes possible for the OS to interact with the system's hardware. Fedora, Debian are other examples of Linux based OS.

Command line interface for Ubuntu is known as Terminal. (Ctrl+Alt+T) will open the Terminal for you. Following are some useful commands for Ubuntu beginners:

man : Opens Manual page of any command

ls : list of files and directories in your present directory

cd : change directory, (type cd name of directory)

mkdir : create a new directory

rm : remove files or directory

rmdir : removes directory

mv : rename files and directories

pwd : shows your current directory

vi : a editor

cat : shows content of a file on the Terminal

nano : a editor

cp : copies content

Above given were some commands of many. Anyone can google for Ubuntu commands which comes handy when using Ubuntu and eases the life on Ubuntu.

This was nothing but a introduction for Ubuntu. I will definitely go into the details in my coming posts. There are various things lined up, various knowledge is lined up for sharing, e.g., detailed Ubuntu, detailed Git, ruby a programming language. As more posts will come I will go more and more technical.
