If you aren´t a skilled Debian (Linux) administrator and use Debian (Linux) only from time to time, so you might need some basic comands in order to work with the system. Here are some which are often used:
| Comand | Usage |
| shutdown -r now | Reboot the system |
| shutdown -h now | Shutdown the system |
| sudo … | run the … command as root |
| sudo -s | temp. switch to root |
| free -h | show the RAM from the OS |
| rm example.zip | remove file example.zip |
| df -lhT | Check Diskspace (free vs. used) |
| ip address show | Show current IP(s) |
| ifconfig -a | Show current IP(s) |
| rm -rf folderName | Delete non empty folder |
| free -m | Show used and free RAM |
| find / -name example.txt | Search for a file. Note start in root with sudo to search everywhere! |
Keep noted that some commands are case sensitive!
