Your computer. You have a whole set of "man pages" which explain what
each of the commands does. These help files are in 
/usr/man/man1, ls /usr/man/man5 , ls /usr/man/man6 (manily games etc), 
ls /usr/man/man8, ls /usr/man/mann
Of course such a huge undigested list of commands is hard to digest. but
paging through ( and then doing man <command> to see what it does ) is
useful at times.

For a bisic introduction to unix and its commands the best thing is to
get an introductory book .
