/s lists all occurences of file foo.bar starting from ., right?
find . -name foo.bar

yes | rm -ri path/directory ;-)

cat file1 file2 file3 > filenew

If /b stands for binary files, there is no such distinction
(binary/ascii) in linux.

In fact, RAWRITE.EXE came to Windows only because of Linux - people
wanted to create linux bootable disks, and Windows didn't allow them
to do so then.

dd if=/path/to/image/file of=/dev/fd0

cat /proc/interrupts will show you all IRQ being used.
cat /proc/ioports will show you the i/o addr.

The only two such circumstances are 1) installing a new kernel, and 2)
adding new hardware to the system. Otherwise, there is no need to
reboot your linux system ever. Most configuration alterations can be
applied by killall -HUP <affected service name>.
