Answer / amit kumar ghosh
It is not practical to say the basic cmds of linux.
There are many, it depends on user & company requirements,
also with any cmd we can create more cmd & that also becomes
basic.

Answer / v.balaviswanathan
It depends on the user
If the user is root or a system administrator the task and
the commands are different and depending on the task
commands vary those might be the basic as well
like " top, ls, lspci, ps aux, df, du, ls -Z, service, cat,
basename etc"
If the user is normal then commands like "cat, passwd, ls,
export(While writing shell scripts) etc.
