 Operating System Linux Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Ubuntu and Debian Power Users
|
 ? Get software — Ubuntu offers the Add/Remove Applications GUI tool for getting software. With tools such as apt-get, you’ll learn the best ways to search for, download, install, update, and otherwise manage software from the command line.? Use the shell — Find neat techniques and tips for using the shell. ? Play with multimedia — Play and stream multimedia content from your computer. You can also modify audio and image files, and then convert the content of those files to different formats. ? Work with files — Use, manipulate, convert, and secure a wide range of file types in Linux. ? Administer file systems— Access, format, partition, and monitor your file storage hardware (hard disks, CD/DVD drives, floppy disks, USB flash drives, and so on). Then create, format, and check the file systems that exist on those hardware devices. ? Backup and restore data—Use simple commands to gather, archive, and compress your files into efficient backup archives. Then store those archives locally or on remote computers. ? Work with processes — List running processes in a variety of ways, such as by CPU use, processor use, or process ID. Then change running processes to have them run in the background or foreground. Send signals to processes to have them re-read configuration files, stop and resume processing, or stop completely (abort). Manage the system — Run commands to check system resources, such as memory usage, run levels, boot loaders, and kernel modules. ? Monitor networks — Bring wired, wireless, and dial-up network connections up and down. Check routing, DNS, and host information. Keep an eye on network traffic. ? Get network resources — Connect to Linux and Windows remote file systems using FTP, NFS, and Samba facilities. Use shell-based commands to browse the Web. ? Do remote administration — Access and administer other computers using remote login (ssh, telnet, and so on), and screen. Learn about remote administration interfaces, such as Webmin, SWAT, and CUPS. ? Lock down security — Set up firewalls and system logging to secure your Linux systems. ? Get reference information — Use the appendixes at the end of this ebook to get more information about the shell (such as metacharacters and shell variables) and the state of the system (from /proc). Hopefully, if we have done it right, it will be easier to use this book than to Google for the command lines or GUI tools you need. ? Hundreds of commands — By compressing a lot of information into a small space, you will have access to hundreds of useful commands, in over 1000 command lines, in a handy form to carry with you. ? Critical Linux information — This book lists connections to the most critical information on the Web for succeeding with Linux in general and Ubuntu in particular. ? Transferable knowledge — Most of the same commands and options you use in Ubuntu will work exactly the same way on other Linux systems. Different Linux distributions, on the other hand, offer different graphical administration tools. And even within a particular distribution, graphical tools change more often than commands do. ? Quick problem solving —By the time others have started up a desktop and launched a graphical administration tool, you will have already run a half dozen commands and solved the problem. ? Enduring value — Many of the commands described in this book were used in early Unix systems. So you are gaining tools that reflect the experience of thousands of computer experts for more than 30 years.
