It's unlikely that your DOS utilities are still being actively maintained. But almost all of the console tools I use are actively developed (heck, "git" just made another 1.8.x release last night...I can't keep up with their near-weekly updates) > Run the following command: > > dpkg -l > > That lists all of the installed packages.

Filtering out most of the libraries might make this list a lot less painful: dpkg -l | grep -v ^lib > There are also many beginner Linux podcasts. I assembled > several of them for someone else. There's a good starter list of podcasts at http://maketecheasier.com/10-great-podcasts-for-linux-open-source-geeks/2012/12/24 though it doesn't contain my go-to recommendation of "Linux for the rest of us" which is available at http://www.podnutz.com/linuxfortherestofus I hope this gives you a couple more leads. -tim _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
