      I'm just happy ifconfig and ipconfig are so similar.

      Except Linux has phased out ifconfig now 🙂

        I always thought it was weird that tracert was the dos command and traceroute was the linux command. Almost every other linux command is shorter.

        That's the famous exception to the rule.

                          It doesn't exactly work that way. Some commands descend from the UNIX world, some are from the Linux world. But neither UNIX or Linux have any commands themselves at all. It's all "on what system was the command first created."

                          So let's take something super simpler like the cp command to copy files. Sure, it was first developed on AT&T UNIX in ~1970. But the version that you use on Linux is from GNU and was developed elsewhere and only primarily used on Linux. Is it UNIX? Linux? Neither because it's just a command that runs on top? It also runs on many non-UNIX systems, like Windows.

                          So a command is often called a UNIX command when it is generic and used on multiple UNIX systems (like top runs on Linux, Solaris, BSD and maybe more) and called Linux when it only is useful to Linux (like lvs, pvs and vgs.)

                                  None of the above. I do not care for IPA in general.

                                      Not a problem anymore 😉

                                      "ls" is a default alias to PowerShell's Get-ChildItem, which works on the filesystem and any given PowerShell provider. By default, there are providers for the the registry and the cert store, for example.

                                        Actually, that reads a little bit like an "adult entertainment" movie's "story". First stalking (ping, tracert, who, whois), later something more obvious (finger, grep) up until the final (aaaaaaawwk...).

                                            I'm using PowerShell 99% of the time. ps or [WINKEY] -> po is shorter than cmd
