"ls" is the "dir" command for Linux/Unix.

"cd" is how you change directories.  "cd" alone will take you to
your home directory (a nice shortcut to know).

"ls -l" will give you a long listing.  "ls -al" will give you a long
listing including hidden files/directories (those starting with a
'.' are usually hidden from you).

"man ls" is how to get to the documentation for the command.  "man"
stands for "manual page".

"apropos <searchtext>" or "man -k <searchtext>" will do a search
through your man-pages for commands that may have something of
interest.  For instance:  "apropos ax25 | sort -u" gives me this:
