A Linux program similar to DOS tree would be the 'tree' program.  You
can also use 'ls -R' or 'find' to perform similar functions.  You can
install the 'tree' program using YUM:
  yum install tree

Quick reference between DOS and Linux?  There are thousands of such
documents on the web but all that I've seen are extremely incomplete.
There are a number of books which cover that topic in various detail.
Try searching Amazon or some other online book seller.  Sounds like a
good Wiki project, though.


"Linux System Commands" appears to have extensive DOS references:

The Linux Dictionary may prove useful:

Trying to learn Linux by relating it to past DOS experience is like
learning a word processor based on past experience with a pencil.
Possibly helpful but not enlightening.
