(Nearly) all the commands have their descriptions as "man" (manual) pages. Just type: man <name> and you will get all you need to know about the command <name>. But, you will probably NEVER know ALL the commands available. For the time being, a Unix manual would be much more pedagogic than the on-line manual pages. I cannot tell which one exactly, there are plenty, perhaps one of the O'Reilly Editions manuals from "Nutshell" series. Since you have your own Unix, you will need to do some system administration, and you may also need a manual on Unix system administration. > > I would like to find out about the basic UNIX commands and how to use > them for my needs.

The best I can say here is that you type man mount and man mount_msdos and read the information therein.
