This is my first post on Cheat sheets. Actually Cheat sheet is a concise set of notes used for quick reference. Cheat sheets will contain most of the shortcuts needed to program faster. And it is meant for newbie users who can’t remember the shortcuts or commands.
In this post , I have collected almost 27 Cheat sheets available for Linux users. These Cheat sheets will contain Linux command lines, Linux security, Linux administration, Gnome/KDE, sed/awk/vim, and distribution specific codes.
You may think that one cheat sheet is just enough for me , so why should I need to look at so many cheat sheets. According to me some cheat sheets may miss some points so its better to Look through all of them and then choose the top 5-10 you think will help you the most. After that you can Print them out and hang them on the wall around your desk for quick reference.

tell me the difference between linux and ubuntu just chnage the title
Ubuntu is a Debian based Linux distribution, the only reason one of the commands group is marked as Ubuntu specific is because Ubuntu is using sudo is a retarded way unlike any other Linux distribution.
It’s not retarded. sudo is a way to give or remove some to all extra privileges an user could have, thus avoiding the need to use the root account to do these things. A bit safer, or less safe, depending on how it’s used. But at least it’s more flexible.
Wow, that is amazing. I love that little penguin dude!
