Let's get started.
Note:
All the commands I use here is for the Ubuntu, these commands may or may not work on the other linux distribution.
At first open your terminal emulator, you can start it either by Applications->Accessories->Terminal or by using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+t.
When it starts, the text there might be like this:
This is in the format username@machinename:currentdirectory$.
Now let's start typing some command:
If you type date, it displays the current date. And the output looks like:
Similarly you can use,
cal - to display the calendar
Now, check these commands yourself.
free- to display the free space in the memory(RAM)
df- amount of free space on your disk drives
and many more.
and finally to the end the terminal session you have to type exit and hit enter key.
If you have any problem regarding any command, just type man <command> . It displays the manual page for the command specified.
As for example, to view the manual page of ls(lists the directory contents), just type man ls in the terminal.
