Hi Dan - and welcome to the list! I think the wiki is a good place to start: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
The "DOS Commands" list is probably a good wiki page to review: http://wiki.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Dos_commands You might also want to look at the FreeDOS Help page: http://help.fdos.org/en/index.htm And I wrote an article for OpenSource about a "Gentle Introduction to FreeDOS" that might be a good place to start, especially coming from Linux: https://opensource.com/article/18/4/gentle-introduction-freedos Also, check out some of the videos on the FreeDOS YouTube channel. I've been recording videos there for the last year or so. There's a "Using FreeDOS" playlist that has several videos you'll find helpful to get started: https://www.youtube.com/freedosproject And I'm thinking about starting a new effort to clean up our documentation and make it easier to read, especially for folks who are new to FreeDOS. So there's probably more to come!
