You don't have to cut and paste like windows.
In windows, you have to high light the text, click edit, select cut,
click where you want to paste, click edit again, and select paste (6
steps).

In linux, hight light the text, click where you want to paste, click
middle mouse button or left and right mouse at the same time (3 steps).

#53
you don't have to type the whole command again that was previously run.
!<command abbreviation> will do it for you.
ex: 
>if you run "gcc -Wall -g -o myexec myprogram.c"
>you can run "!g" to run it again.

#54
In Linux, you can resize your command shell anyway you like, but you can't
make your Dos prompt window bigger when you already set the size in
windows.

#55
If run a command and don't want its output to appear anywhere you can
redirect the output to the big bucket, /dev/null.

ex:
find / -name "linux" 2>/dev/null 

find / -name "linux" is a command to find all with linux.
2 is standard error 
> is redirection
/dev/null is a big bucket
