Footnotes

1. In System V-based Unixes, run level relates to booting, shutdown, and single-user mode. In BSD, it has to do with security.

2. Freeware or separately downloadable; not part of the base OS. See the precompiled binaries task or web search.

3. Gentoo does not have precompiled packages. It compiles them on your computer. It also has some "overlays" for packages that are not (yet) in the main portage tree. See http://overlays.gentoo.org/

4. ioscan -funC disk may be helpful here to determine device path.

5. Architecture-specific. See http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/distrib/*/*/install.md for details.

Universal Command Guide is a large book which covers several of the OSs in this table. See www.allcommands.com

UnixGuide.net has a similar table covering fewer Unix versions and a somewhat different set of tasks. See unixguide.net/cgi-bin/unixguide.cgi

Colin Barschel's Unix Toolbox cb.vu/unixtoolbox.xhtml is a wonderfully detailed handbook sorted by task area and giving both commands and config file excerpts for Linux and BSD.

coolcommands is a search engine giving one-line command examples: www.coolcommands.com/index.php?option=com_cc&Itemid=28
