Do you know if the opera zoom levels are in gconf?
grep - a "filter" for example:
ps -a | grep -i user
(list all process status' and send the output (| is a "pipe". windows uses them also) to grep which is told to ignore case differences (-i) and only show output lines that contain "user"
cat = type
like:
type c:\autoexec.bat
(list the file on the screen)
cd = cd
change current directory (whatd'ya know, windows stole the command from unix !!!) if you want to go "up" a directory, you will have to put a space between cd and the ..
cd ..
more = more
(see cd... windows stole the command from linux)
ls -a | more
list all files in the current directory and pipe the output to more so you will get one screen at a time.
BTW: ls = dir
EXCEPT you usually want to ls -a so you can see files and directories that are "hidden" (which is usually the ones that start with a . (dot))
try:
ls -a | sort
just like dir | sort, this will show the contents of the current directory alphabetically (except dir | sort shows the date and time first, so you get you dir in date order.... not really usefull..)
ls -a | sort | more
sort the output before showing you a page at a time...
so what's the current directory?
pwd
will tell you.
just remember big and little (or as New Yorkers have them: upper and lower case) ALWAYS make a difference in linux.
Perhaps the biggest omission on the 770 is built-in-help is not included for commands: in a "normal" linux command-box (shell) you can type
man cat
to get a concise explanation of the command: page-up/down to see it all and then press q to quit...
and if you forget how to use man, you can type
man man
