    Good morning!

    Quick, how many commands are there at the disposal of a CLI enthusiast?
    Every time some newbie asks how to do this that or something else, along
    comes a new command "that-was-always-there" but sort of "unknown". Now
    that's security through obscurity for you! This is not a rant....I love the
    number of commands in Linux and the control that they can give.

    But I'd like to see, ideally in one place, ALL the Debian commands. Then
    instead of asking someone on the list (bless ya, guys and girls) how I can
    to XYZ via ABC given that LMN are doing a QRS, I could peruse this one place
    and then toddle off to the man pages (or google or whereever) to get the
    syntax and nitty-gritty.

    And then if all goes fubar I could ask for help :)

    Is there such a site?

    FWIW, googling "Debian command line reference" gave no hits. Googling "Linux
    command line reference" gave some 1160 inlcuding this one:
    http://mygamecompany.com/Linux/Commandline/linuxcommandline.htm, but how
    much is Debian?

    Thanks

    Rob
