SSH Confusion -- Question

[Brian Fox]

Here's a unix cheat sheet for shell commands:

	http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/QRC/UNIX%20commands% 
20reference%20card.pdf

Here's a comprehensive reference card for (essentially) all of bash,  
the standard linux shell

	http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/QRC/Bash%20Quick%20Reference.pdf

Finally, I highly recommend the linuxquestions.org wiki:  http:// 
wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki

Thanks,
