just a tip: do NOT run commands that start with sudo.
those are commands that change things deep in your OS and you may destroy stuff with those (if you don't know what they do).

"df" to see your disk/partician space usage
"top" to see all processes running on your computer
"ls -al" to see the contents of a directory

Not really "cool", but otherwise fairly useful sometimes
