Not sure what you mean specifically. There are some disto-specific commands for sure, but ‘linux is linux’, so the majority of system commands are the same. You should use google to find some tutorials on linux commands. There are many to choose from.
Here’s a few (no particular order):
Linux Knowledge Base and Tutorial - Commandline 101: Basic Directory Commands
UNIX / Linux Tutorial for Beginners
Enjoy.

What commands don’t work? Have you looked into Yast, there is a ncurses
version. Then there is zypper for package management. We would need to
know more specifically what commands you are trying to use to figure out
if there is some opensuse equivalent or just something wrong when
executing the command.
zypper would be one area - look here

Well, same here! I’ve worked in computer Industry a long time Onternational Computers, Siemens, even been to Space City for a spell on the computer’s there.
Coming back to Earth, as a retired old guy with 4 pc’s linked together by a wired rig carrying Suse 11.1; Ubuntu 8.10; Kubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 I enjoy keeping my mind active this way - of course, it’s not Unix or Arc, I realise that, or even Cobol, but its something different to that Operating system where you are taught to loose your mind and push a plastic mouse rather than think straight!
Who wants to spend his/her life on a micro-something system that doesn’t teach you to know your system inside out? When you get the blue screen of death - your screwed if you don’t know how to get out of it - and the trick is to hand over money to someone else to fix your PC when you could have done it yourself - if the manufacturer had been honest with you from the start!
I’m a grumpy old sod who dislikes being taken for a ride after buying something off of a manufacturer only to find the equipment is crap because it had more security holes than a sieve when it went on the market. Take 95; Xp; Vista they all can’t cut the butter when they need to. Bah! humbug!

Just to add, I love 11.1 Suse! I use it in KDE 4.1 mode. Originally I first went on Linux with version 6.1 (which I still have) and the next version “Suse Linux Professional 8.2(which I also still have)” This was at a time when the Suse group wheren’t part of the Free Linux Foundation - and you had to pay for your Operating System! The best Suse Linux is 11.1 because it is free and more important, because it is heaps better than any other non-linux system!

Actually it wasn’t to do with membership or not of FLF (AFAICT there is a LF, but not a FLF, maybe you are confounding LF and FSF?). The old S.u.S.E. had a proprietary YaST. This was a perfectly legal thing to do, even though the rest of the distro was libre software. Also there was no Internet edition, it was only distributed on CDs. But you could install it on as many machines as you wanted. The distro was so complete and so well put together that we old-timers didn’t mind the proprietary bit.
Then YaST became open source, Novell bought S.u.S.E., changed the name to SUSE, and started up openSUSE, and that’s where we are now.
