The commands are simmilar, e.g.

DOS | LINUX
----+------
CD  | cd
MD  | mkdir

The Linux terminal can help you, when using the Tab-key.
Just type a character or some characters and then the Tab-key.

[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$ m
Display all 214 possibilities? (y or n)
[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$ md
md5pass     md5sum      mdadm       mdassemble  mdel        mdeltree
mdir        mdmon       mdu

mkbinhmmexe       mkfa              mkfs.ext2         mkfs.xfs
mknod             
mkbinhmmlist      mkfifo            mkfs.ext3         mkgshmm
mkreiserfs        
mkbinhmmlistexe   mkfontdir         mkfs.ext4         mkhomedir_helper
mkrfc2734         
mkcp              mkfontscale       mkfs.ext4dev      mkhybrid
mkss

The Tab-key also auto-complete passes.

+ Tab =

[spinymouse@archlinux ~]$ cd /usr/src/muse2/





You can add aliases to a file in your home folder, on Suse I added

alias cpu-o="su -c\"cpufreq-set -gondemand\""
alias cpu-p="su -c\"cpufreq-set -gperformance\""

it's also possible to name Linux commands by aliases like DOS commands.
