I like using the <tab>-<tab> trick in bash to find different commands. 
For instance if you want to see all the commands that start with ps, just 
type ps<tab><tab>.  That's 'ps' and hit the tab key twice.

Of course lots of X commands start with 'x', so x<tab><tab>.  Or kde 
commands start with 'k', k<tab><tab>.  You get the idea...

If you use tcsh (does anyone? i did for years), you can use ctrl-d to do 
the same thing.
