Debian Linux

Debian is preferred over Ubuntu due to Ubuntu's desire to capture so much data about users, honestly unnecessarily.

Any missing versions within a description are not statements of unavailability. Though I am sure I used them, I simply do not remember testing these commands in other versions of Ubuntu, and would rather not list them if not one-hundred percent confident in their existence.

If there is an asterisk within the version, that command is most likely as universal a command as could exist.
