Linux Brain Dump has this great list of the 10 Linux commandments..
the first 5 i’ll post here, the other five you’ll have to read at the Linux Brain Dump
1 Thou shalt not log in as root.
Use “sudo” or “su” for administrative tasks.
2 Thou shalt use the package manager when possible.
Sometimes installing from source code can’t be avoided, but when you use your distro’s package manager to install software, you can also use it to update and remove it. This is one of the main strengths of Linux.
3 Thou shalt be a part of the community.
Freely give what you have received for free. Offer help and advice whenever you can.
4 Thou shalt read documentation and man pages.
Always read the documentation. The people who wrote the software tried to anticipate your questions, and provided answers before you asked.
5 Thou shalt use the available support system.
Switching to Linux can be tough. It can be frustrating, but there are a lot of people out there who want to help you. Let them.
