I'm not sure how much help this will be, but there is an A-Z Index of commands listed here: http://www.ss64.com/bash/
This page is what I kind of used to get started in Linux. There are links for some commands which go into more detail. Another good site I used is: http://www.manpages.com/ I'm still trying to find one which is more suited for Ubuntu as these pages do not mention apt-get. But a lot of the other commans listed are available on pretty much any Linux distribution, such as useradd, userdel, etc. Hope this helps.
