A Computer console, a physical device to operate a computer (Wikipedia Computer_console ). On linux, there are often multiple Virtual_Console (Alt-F1 to Alt-F6).

How to survive on the linux console

The usual shell commands are listed in coreutils.

This section lists a selection of useful and popular programs that run from the shell.

Generic tools

  • screen -- virtual tty that allow disconnection (for ssh or X-terminal)

  • script -- for logging of a console session

  • mlocate -- assist finding files

  • File manager: mc

  • Editors
    • nano -- very small, very simple, very easy to use text editor

    • vim and vim-tiny -- The Vi like editor.

    • emacs

    • joe -- can emulate WordStar keybindings (jstar)

  • Shells
  • Locking the console
  • Misc
    • dict to look-up dictionaries

    • linuxvnc to export console (VNC)

Communication / Internet

Multimedia

  • Graphic conversion and manipulation
  • Graphic viewers
    • zgv which requires svgalib, so it only runs on some arches

    • fbi which doesn't require svgalib and includes fbgs (a ghostscript frontend)

  • Video
    • mplayer (mplayer -vo caca MyFile.mpg or mplayer -vo aa MyFile.mpg)

PIM

Office

  • Spreadsheet

  • Word processing
    • odt2txt (view openoffice document, see mc above)

  • top in the procps package -- list whats running and resource usage

  • ngrep -- Show network connections

  • apachetop -- Show active Apache details.

  • aptitude -- manage Debian packages.

  • ssh -- Remote system interaction (replaces deprecated "r" commands, telnet, ftp).
