    A Comparison of Common DOS and Linux Commands

    Uploaded by

    nnoop
    This document compares common commands used in DOS and Linux. It provides a table listing commands, their DOS and Linux equivalents, and basic examples of how each command is used in Linux. Some commands, such as COPY, MOVE, DIR, and DEL in DOS have identical counterparts in Linux as CP, MV, LS, and RM respectively. Others, such as FORMAT and MEM, have similar Linux functions as MKE2FS and FREE for formatting disks and showing RAM usage. The document also notes additional options and help available for each command.
