Is it possible to make a list of commands in linux so that I don't have to type them all each time I need to do something?
 
Every UNIX shell worth its weight in mt dew has decent scripting capabilities. I recommend ksh, but bash maybe ok for you. "man ksh", or "man bash"

EDIT: Fixed one typo :/
 
Yes, as n0c said, shell scripting is your friend. Or, if one want to same some time on command arguments, you can create yourself some aliases.
 
*nix shells also include TAB completion and a command history. Try typing the first couple letters of a command or program name and hit TAB .. it should either complete the command for you or give you a list of the commands that begin with those letters. To navigate through your bash prompt history you use the arrow keys on your keyboard.
