Learn the Linux command line
Linux has come a long way in the past two years. Today much of what needs to be done on a Linux machine can be done using a mouse and a little pointing and clicking. Occasionally, however, there are things that still require a little under-the-hood tinkering, where a rudimentary understanding of the command line comes in handy.
In response to regular comments from readers who ask for more detail on the commands we use in articles, Tectonic has put together our top eight list of must know command line tools. The list is not exhaustive and certainly not comprehensive, but if you know these commands you'll convince most of the people most of the time that you're a Linux guru.

su is for switching users, usually to switch to the root user.
