Mike,
If you can't remember why you started out on this journey and aren't
sure what you did to get where you are, you might find a notebook and
pen a useful tool in helping you retrace your footsteps. Write down what
it is you are trying to achieve and then do some research on-line on how
best to achieve it. You could also ask for advice on this list *before*
you start out making fundamental system changes. It would probably save
a lot of pain in the long run.
The "history" command will show previous commands you've entered in a
terminal. You might also find a book like O'Reilly's "Running Linux" a
worthwhile investment as it covers the fundamental principles of Linux
system administration.
