Below is a quick table roughly mapping Windows or DOS commands to their
Linux equivalents.A more comprehensive reference may be added later.
Remember that Linux is case sensitive!

DOS/Windows Command	Linux Equivalent	What it does
attrib	chmod	Change file or directory attributes or permissions. Note that file attributes on DOS are completely different from permissions on Linux.
cd	cd	Change the current directory. Similar syntax.
cls	clear	Clear the terminal screen
copy	cp -i	Copy files. Similar syntax. Without the -i, cp will not prompt for destructive actions like file replacement. If the target exists, it is overwritten
del erase	rm -i	Delete files. Without the -i, rm will not ask for confirmation.
deltree	rm -R	Delete a directory and all its contents, including subdirectories.
dir	ls	List the files in the current directory, or a named directory.
md	mkdir	Create a new subdirectory. Similar syntax.
mem	free -t	Display a summary of current memory usage and availability.
more	more less	Display the contents of a file one page/screen at a time. The less utility allows scrolling back and forth.
move	mv	Move a file.
rd	rmdir	Delete an empty subdirectory. Similar syntax.
ren	mv	Rename a file or folder.
type	cat	Display the contents of a file.
ver	uname -sr	Display the name and version of the OS kernel.
