    cheat sheet? Like what?

    ls is the equivalent to dir
    rm is the equivalent to del, except it can also delete directories
    cat will read the contents of a file to STDOUT
    then there other other things that work just like in DOS/Windows: more, pipe (|), redirectors (< >)

    Not that those are cheats, but those are some of the very basics of working with a linux system.

    That list prof posted is pretty decent. Remember at the command line you can always type: e.g. "man woman" to find out how woman works and what it does. ;)

    Googling came up with:

    The biggest cheat sheet of all:

    http://www.tldp.org/ (this is the Linux Documentation Project)

    Since you have Mandrake, look on the CDs and on your box for html helps, there is a mini-manual on the installation you did also. Unfortunately, my Mandrake install is not playing nice with the NIC on the new Intel mobo, so can't answer from within that to tell you where the printable docs are easily.... But, if you ask about what you want to do as best you can explaining where the hangup is, then I can help you get what you need to know. I have most of that printed out for 9.2.

    justlinux used to be for mostly newbies, the sysadmins and quite a few users became non-newbies and now call it justlinux.

    Also try, for Mandrake, http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showforum=29 for the FAQ, the cheat sheets in Linux often hide as Frequently Asked Questions forum areas or databases of archived thereads, and these are by Mandrake users to Mandrake users. In English.

    There is some older stuff at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/ but that site is now not maintained. Unfortunately the sysadmin, Tom Berger, did a vanishing act. His site code was custom HIM code.

    If that really works you should get a Nobel prize. :cheers:

    The first is a good place to start, the second is a comfortable reference once you get more involved in the CLI.
