if you want to get into linux, get used to reading, because you'll need manuals at some point.

(you can skip trough most of it, just give it a quick "read" to find the parts you need)

yes but i don't have the time to read 20 page for every command ( i got 2 week to learn at the best linux )

then i'd suggest scraping up on your "skimming" skills.

 

once you know where to look, you can skim trough a MAN page in under a minute to get the exact parts of the command you need. (and maybe find some stuff you didnt think you'd need)

You're not going to master Linux is 2 weeks I'm afraid... Anyway:

find / -type d -name "R*" && find / -type d -name "r*" | less

or

find / -type d -regex .*/[rR].* | less

Everywhere. Change / to . to search only the directory you're in.

-iname "r*"

will match both upper and lower case.
