Common CLI Commands

simplycomplex72 · #1 10th September 2007, 05:11 PM

I'm usually an avid ubuntu desktop user however recently have been running a fedora 7 installation via vmware for testing new email servers that our company is exploring (zimbra, scalix etc). After searching avidly for a good thorough cheat sheet of common CLI commands for fedora I've only found general linux commands. Help me find sudo!!! apt-get???

I can help you with sudo, first you will want to read:

Code:

man visudo

To setup your user accound with sudo priveleges you will want to do:

Code:

su root
(enter password for root)
visudo

looking through there you should be able to get a pretty good example of what you need to add. It is not recommended to edit the sudo file directly with something like vi or nano. The command visudo will check you syntax before you save the file to make sure it is right. I am at windows box now so I can't look at mine to say for sure but I think the line went something like

Code:

your-user-name  ALL=ALL PASSWORD=NO

Actually just a thought, but I think you can use apt-get with fedora. Try:

Code:

yum search aptitude

or

Code:

yum search apt-get

or

Code:

yum search apt

Hmmm.

A little off your exact request, but I found these resources to be quite useful.

(moved to General Support) Also, apt & synaptic are available in the repositories, but the speed is slower than what you're used to; it has something to do with python in Fedora.
