Day 12: Just A Tip

    Today I thought instead of showing off a new distro I would give you some tips about Linux in general.

First We Have Commonly Used Commands

Arch Linux and Pacman based distros 

sudo pacman -S (package) 
Installs a package.

sudo pacman -Rs
Removes a package.

sudo pacman -Syy
Upgrades mirrors and recognizes new ones.

sudo pacman -Syu
Upgrades a package.

Universal Commands

cd
Change Directory

useradd -m -g (group) -G (additional group) -s (login shell) (username)
This is to add a user.  You may have to change it slightly for the distro you're using but often it's pretty similar to this.

More Linux tips tomorrow. . .
