Are there any Linux equivalent of the Mac OS X "open" command?

Answer:

The Mac OSX's open command is a very handy tool for opening file, without the need to sepcify the program name.

In Linux, you have two choices:

1. xdg-open

# xdg-open test.html

2. see

# see test.html

Both command will open the file by your default web browser.
