[brlug-general] Learning the command line

[Joe Fruchey]

I have a 900MHz laptop with Fedora 6 installed. Gnome and KDE both
slog it down. Not the the point of unusability, mind you, but I like
things to be zippy.

So I installed fluxbox.

But I lost all my fancy gui-based Gnome config utils. It's okay,
though, because I know those are all just frontends for command line
utils. But how do I learn them?! In Gnome, if I wanted to change
something, I'd go to the system menu and look. But without a visual
reference, how would I know that xrandr changes the resolution?
