How do I see how many connections are open in Linux?

Lets start with the basics. The netstat command is quite useful for checking connections to your machine. If we wanted to see ALL of the connections (which i really recommend you don't do unless you're trying to debug something and then you should probably pipe it to a file) we could use the "netstat -a" command.
