I was wondering if somebody could possibly list some useful/essential Terminal commands that would benefit me: and maybe a brief explanation of their function?
If not, is there a page you could direct me to that would teach what I asked for above?
I'm new in Fedora 15 and i like it! In Ubuntu it have some command to clean system,deb packge,etc like:

Code:
Edit: commands like Firefox works after I set it to display properly. I still can't get personal scripts to run, though.I can't seem to get crontab to run my commands. I add
Code:
* * * * * /home/username/script

I installed KDE on my ubuntu 10.04 yesterday, and I tried to login afterwards. The initial page is shown when KDE detects hard disk and other devices, but after it shows hard disk, a black screen is shown for few seconds and it jumps back to login screen. I tried these commands to install KDE,Code:sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop Code:sudo apt-get install kde-standard Neither works.

I have been successful and so the majority of my work is over. My question is simple (I think) but complex to me so... here it goes.

I took one UNIX class a long time ago and the terms pipe and such come to mind... but I forget. Any takers? That was I can write what I want the computer to do in the morning and just come back after work and voila...

I have been trying to figure out how to automatically run terminal commands on login. For example, I want to run Firefox on login. When I run 'firefox' in terminal, it opens. This is what I tried:I went to System > Preference > Startup Applications and clicked on 'Add'. I gave it a name, typed 'firefox' into the command field and left the comment blank and added it to the list, making sure that the box was checked.
