Summary

---

This chapter has been a sort of whirlwind tour of shell commands. We have examined file manipulation commands, system commands, network utilities, and even the shell itself. This information, coupled with the shell commands you were introduced to in Chapter 3, should make you basically comfortable with using the shell.

The commands we covered are just a few of the many shell commands available to you with Linux. These are the most commonly used commands, and a knowledge of them is enough to make you a very technically savvy user—a Linux power user, if you will. Some of the commands we covered are also quite useful to system administrators.
