Here are all of the quick commands I have to use on almost every Linux build.
|
1 2 3 |
uname |
will return Linux
|
1 2 3 |
uname -r |
Will return the version you are running
|
1 2 3 |
uname -m |
Will return the kernel release
|
1 2 3 |
uname -a |
Returns all the info it can give you about the kernel
|
1 2 3 |
cat /etc/os-release |
All of the above commands will give you kernel and release information. They are pretty handy when you’re working with some weird distros.
|
1 2 3 |
df -h |
Will return your disk usage and status
|
1 2 3 |
ifconfig |
Will return what your current network settings look like. Get the name of your interface (most of the time either eth0 or eth1 etc…) and use the following command.
|
1 2 3 |
eth1 192.168.1.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 |
If your interface is called eht1, this command will change the IP address to 192.168.1.250 and assign the proper netmask. This can help you to quickly set a static IP on a device.
