Linux (SSH) Command Overview
I decided to post this useful chart I found since people are searching a lot for DOS-Commands in order to find posts about their Linux-Counterparts.
Taken from http://linuxrefresher.com/commands/compare.htm
Newbies visit http://linuxrefresher.com which is a VERY good (free)site to learn + understand Linux.
