Thanks! It looks great now, I'm currently reading one of the books suggested and now I'm like WINDOWS sucks lol I like the freedom Linux gives not ready for the big stuff yet so my system will still be running windows cuz for now it's simple but I'll be using my n900 to get familiar with these commands although others suggested using a keyboard in my situation this will do for now, especially since I'm careful about what I type all the time (although I've miss spelled a couple times already lol)

Yes it would - if you do "ap" then hit tab, it'll either auto-complete or list the available commands starting with ap.

Well, usually I use whatis util when in doubt, and man for further reading.
Code:
juk@superos:~$ whatis apt
apt (8)              - Advanced Package Tool
juk@superos:~$ whatis apt-get
apt-get (8)          - APT package handling utility - - command-line interface

Going more advanced:
Code:
juk@superos:~$ wikiansv.sh apt-get
Q: Wiki, what is apt-get?
"The Advanced Packaging Tool, or APT, is a Free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on the Debian GNU/Linux computer operating system and its variants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advan" "ced_Packaging_Tool"
Wikiansv util:
Code:
juk@superos:~$ cat `which wikiansv.sh`
#!/bin/bash
echo 'Q: Wiki, what is '${1}'?';
dig +short txt ${1}.wp.dg.cx

@jukzh
dig is not installed in busybox of n900. So thanks for tips but people please add if you are using some other pimped kernel or you have downloaded cli utils separately.

btw.

Hey guys I'm straying from the topic here but I was just doing some browsing around and I saw this:
http://nokia-n900.com/nokia-n900-pho...zes-to-be-won/

I also saw this guide for overclocking:
http://nokia-n900.com/forum/nokia-n9...lock-the-n900/

The first link is just for those interested but the second I would like to know, how accurate is it and is it safe because I've been waiting to OC my N900 but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing first and these are the simplest instructions I've come across to date.
