Sure there are a lot of other tricks about shell commands and if you 
want to explore the shell, it may be useful to look at the bash manual: 
<http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/>. If you are not too young, 
you may prefer a printed book like "Learning the bash shell" by Cameron 
Newham & Bill Rosenblatt.

OTOH, it seems a bit OT here to me because it isn't specific to Kubuntu. 
Nowadays most things can be done with GUI tools which is more intuitive 
for most people. And it would be specific to Kubuntu. :)
