Keep Metal!

So nothing about metal today. Just a list of commands that will get you started in on Kubuntu. If you are like me and love using the Terminal, then this list might be of interest to you.

The commands are very basic.. Nothing fancy here. Actually when I started using linux, I started this list because I couldn't remember any of these commands. Now I can remember. :D And I thought of helping the society. Enough of the talks now. Here ya go... Just drop a comment if you think I should add something. ;)
