Using the command line in Linux can be one of the most daunting tasks to a regular Windows User. The Linux command line, or “Shell” is vastly more powerful that the command line you might be used to in windows. On Linux, you can create shell scripts (like a Windows Batch file, but on fists full of steroids).

An Introduction to Shell Scripting

It’s a work in progress, but has a lot of great information for someone getting started.

Here is a total noob hint.

You can see the last 500 or so commands you have entered in the command line on a Linux system with the following command:
history

Now, if you want to filter that list you can use grep. For example, if you want to see the files you have edited, you could:
history | grep nano
Assuming of course, that you use nano as your text editor.
