Usefull Linux commands

Starting with a few generic distribution invariant

Get OS Version

  • Command: uname
    Identify Version: uname -a” Returns Linux which is pointless so by using -a that equals all we get a useful response.

    Usage: uname [OPTION]…

    Print certain system information. With no OPTION, same as -s.

    -a, –all print all information, in the following order,
    except omit -p and -i if unknown:
