If you're just after "commands that do stuff" in a terminal, then just press "tab" (maybe a couple of times). The Tab key is the command line's "auto-complete" key (at least assuming you're using a shell called Bash, which is now pretty standard).
It should respond with something like "Display all 2712 possibilities? (y or n)". If you type "y", you'll get a complete list of everything that can be invoked. You can make it more manageable by typing a letter or two (e.g. "a" or "net") and then a tab, which will give you a subset of available commands, scripts or programs starting with whatever you entered.
Or more generally...
find $PATH -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type f -executable
Which should probably work in other shells too, if you just want the command names...
find $PATH -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -executable -type f -printf "%f\n"
... Just thought I'd add that in late to the round just for the hell of it ;)
Thanks,
