"CLI" = "Command line interface", and is an alternative to "GUI" (Graphical User Interface). Back in the days of MS-DOS, it was your only option for telling your computer what you wanted it to do.

some basic commands in linux -man <command>

ls
lists files and folders in active directory
cd <directory>
changes active directory
cp <sourcefile> <newfile>
copies file from sourcefile to newfile
sudo <command>
gives a command temporary administrator privileges VERY DANGEROUS USE WITH CARE
apt-get
installs, removes, upgrades application packages on your system (use with sudo)
gksu <command>
graphical version of sudo
These are as many as i know. if they are unclear, please enter the command followed by '--help' (without quotes)
