need as status report, or your IP address, for example, you need to use a networking and internet command Here beneath you have a list of the most useful and most popular network and internet commands: ifconfig: check the status of the wireless connection iwconfig: check which network the wireless adapter is using iwlist wlan0 scan: Print a list of the wireless networks currently available iwlist wlan0 scan | grep namefield: Use grep along with the name of a field to bring up a specific list of the fields you need nmap: Scan your network and list all the port numbers, operating system, MAC address, connected devices etc Chapter 100 – System information commands System information commands bring up information about how your system is running; for example, you need to use a system information command to see how much memory you have left, how much you are using, how much free disk is available etc; they basically check the operational ability, or the health status, if you wish, of your Raspberry Pi These commands are useful to run diagnostics Here is a list of the most useful commands: cat /proc/meminfo: Show details about your computer memory cat /proc/partitions: Show the size and the number of the partitions on your micro SD card or on your hard drive cat /proc/version: Show which version of the Raspberry Pi is being used df -h: show information about the disk space available df /: Show how much free disk space is still available on your Raspberry Pi 2 dpkg –get-selections | grep name: Show all of the packages installed on your Raspberry Pi 2 that are related to ‘name’ dpkg –get-selections: Show all of the installed packages free: Show how much free memory is available on your Raspberry Pi 2 Chapter 101 – Linux lingo As you have seen, Linux uses a different vocabulary, different words from most other systems; by now you will have become acquainted with some, if not most, of them There are actually many more However, this final chapter lists the most common Linux words, and you can use it as a reference if you get lost with the jargon Here they are: User: anyone with access to your Raspberry Pi 2 Root user: the ‘administrator’ of the Raspberry Pi 2 Partition: it is a folder in your micro SD card Package: it is the same as software application Sudo: indicates authority as the root user or administrator Directory: they are commonly called folders in other operating systems Mount: it means to install and configure Conclusion We have come to the conclusion of our long, and hopefully very exciting journey As we said in the introduction, you must have by now realised that the Raspberry Pi though very small and very cheap, is much more than a simple computer It allows you to incredible things thanks to its flexibility; it allows you to develop very important skills in an easy and fun way, from learning how to program to becoming creative and inventive with computers, from creating your own games and your own animations, to experimenting with different hardware What really matters now is that you keep experimenting, that you keep learning more and more, and that you keep developing your skills and personalising your Raspberry Pi and, who knows, one day you may even assemble your own super computer!
