This is great. However I have a few to add:

  • date
  • touch
  • mount

You can learn more about these by trying the following in your terminal

man date
man touch
man mount

apt-get moo:

  • apt - advanced package tool
  • get - from the verb to get, as its main role is to get packages for you
  • moo - onomatopoeia
