where's a good list of terminal commands? jsut some useful things, or simple commands like how to show hidden files and stuff (i'm trying to learn). thanks.
It shows you how long youve been up and running, as well as load averages, though Im not sure what those exactly mean. My guess is theyre related to processor loads being processed? haha.

23:52 up 1 day, 3:27, 1 user, load averages: 1.62 1.46 1.35
'who' lists logged in clients to shell (i.e. not shared type clients)
ls /bin; ls /sbin; ls /usr/bin; ls /usr/sbin
Pick a command and use "man" to get the manual help pages for it. For example:
man rm
gives me:
RM(1) BSD General Commands Manual RM(1)
NAME
rm, unlink - remove directory entries
SYNOPSIS
rm [-dfiPRrvW] file ...
unlink file
DESCRIPTION
The rm utility attempts to remove the non-directory type files specified
on the command line. If the permissions of the file do not permit writ-
ing, and the standard input device is a terminal, the user is prompted
(on the standard error output) for confirmation.
Knock yourself out.
