I've found 'list 10 two-letter linux commands and their use' They don't actually have to think of 10, but their answer can show what they've actually had to do

They don't actually have to think of 10, but their answer can show what they've actually had to do on a *nix system. Its also lets you prod them with questions like 'how might I get disk usage' or if they mention dd, ask them how they use it, what its good for etc.
- icebraining 13y agoI was surprised I could actually think of 10. Using both dc and bc seems like cheating, though ;)
- octo_t 13y agoTo be honest, a reason I like it is that if they free-think and say 'what about sed, oh of course thats three characters', shows what they know. Also whether shell-built ins count too.
