If you know what do you want to do, and think is programable, then I
think
your best bet is google for it, or ask on list.
In many ways, one of the many purposes of the lists is to act as a
very basic low-level interpreter between a user and the computer. Too
much, maybe. I think that list traffic would be reduced somewhat and a
user's grasp of what is available to him/her would be increased, if
there was one place ( a dictionary?) that folks could go to at least
learn the vocabulary of Debian that is available to them BEFORE
hitting up the list experts.
My question is: "Is there such a web-site?"
No. Even if such a website exists, it will be out of date very soon and
requires heavy maintenance. The closest solution to your problem would
be the wiki - http://wiki.debian.org/ . If you want to see such a thing,
just write it up there and it will pick up if there is sufficient interest.
There's a huge, in the thousands, of comand line programs on any linux
installation, and most people dont know how to use them all, if any,
Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place where ALL the commands are
available to peruse either before a command is needed or when a
command is needed?
It would be real nice and I was looking for that one once upon a time. I
think there is a book called Debian bible (not sure about the name) - It
probably lists most of the commands.
