My favourite linux command is "ls"
"cd"I use those quite a bit also.
I use them all the time, doesn't mean I like them. At least ls is shorter than dir.

This is also helpful, diff is confusing unless you use some flags.
diff -y -W 70 file file2It makes viewing changes much easier. Below is a screenshot. The pipe shows there is a difference in the line, and the < or > show that there is a line added or subtracted.

I always end up typing dir on my linux machines and ls on my windows machines.... it just frustrates me...

This thread deserves more attention than it gets. I was getting annoyed with dd and no status display today (lots of Raspberry Pis to image.) This time I know the exact size of the sd cards being imaged tho, so pv is very helpful.
dd if=/home/comtech/rpi.img | pv -s 16g | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=4k[root@localhost comtech]# dd if=/home/comtech/rpi.img | pv -s 16g | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 ^[34MiB 0:01:37 [ 249KiB/s] [==> ] 2% ETA 1:17:2 -
