Debian Linux Reference Card / Cheat Sheet

A quick reference which helps in daily usage of Linux-based systems. It's primarily focused on using the commandline interface, as the graphical interface is more or less the same as you'll find on any other system - with the smal variation that yo ucan select a multitude of different graphical interfaces for your Linux system during installation.

Feedback, recommendations warmly welcome!

Added to the list of recommended changes:

  • move the "Encrypt yoru home partition" the the install manual instead of the ref-card

    I thought it was sudo apt-get -f install. Does it make difference if I use -f before or after install?

      It might be "better style" to put the options before the keyword.
      From my point of understanding it makes more sense, however, to first give the keyword ( i.e. "WHAT" to do ) before the options ( i.e.: How or why to do something ).

      It'd read like this:
      Fetch Packages, install them, to fix some problem.

      Considering German uses a different way to assemble sentences ( different structure / grammar ), it is actually quite reasonable that in English the way you suggest comes more naturally from a sentence describing what is to be achieved with the commandline.

      In Short:
      It works both ways, for sure.
      I do not know which way is more elegant.
      I don't know which is the "recommended way".

        Either is fine, they do the same thing.-w-
