Sir I am learning Linux in Chinese and wasn't understanding much, but u have given an idea of what my Laoshi=teacher spoke about on the 1st day. thank u so much.

[afaisal91]

You are awesome man, u are a good teachers to beginners.

I don't see any file extensions in my home folder. When searching on google it says that linux doesn't use them so much. How come there shown in this example?

[Ruhamituh]

remarkable teaching strategy!!!

[bartjoboy]

Thank you for this tutorial :D I have been experimenting with Ubuntu for a while now, but never found a good tutorial for the console, I do know a little bit about the DOS prompt but Linux uses slightly different commands. xD

[SuperKittyPancake]

Whats the difference between 'less' and 'cat'.

They seem to do the same thing?

Is there a purpose why?

[hrbear]

I like very much the tutorial. Some of us who lived the DOS era immediately compare the syntax of the Unix commands with the known to us commands from DOS. So the move command mv was the REN command in DOS, but REN did not move files. Seems that mv both moves and rename files. The mk dir is the equivalent of MD in DOS. cd, and cd .. (double dot) are just the same.

This is very helpful, I have found no other decent tutorials on the internet that introduce absolute noob's to the terminal and command prompts. Thank you very much!

[NearlyThereBangla]

very clear and specific explanation for the beginners, was very easy for me to catch and understand. Much appreciated for this great tutorial. Best Tutorial +++

[Rigpa7]

Very good explanations in all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[freaks182]

your videos are awesome!!! thanks man!

[hrbear]

@freaks182 The only negative is that the camera had to be clear focus on the terminal text, and the terminal letters to be larger for us to see.

The support you receive from the Linux community was worth partitioning my drive. Keep up the good work.

I need to take a step back and relearn the basics, until today I have never used or knew about the "tilde" symbol.

thanks for all the tips.

[NickelxK5]

are there thing like batch files here?

[aikirich]

# tar xvzf package.tar.gz

# cd package

# ./configure

# make

# make install

[Montyleeny14]

That is true, but its more reliable; you can dictate your computer to do anything you want.

If you use Linux, you are known as a computer proffessional; its the most advanced operating system in the world.

Windows, its really for beginners.

Mac, somewhat the same but just a different company ;)

[TonayD]

Thats not entirely true; for home users maybe, but there is an entire command set for Windows used by IT pros, but mostly used on servers. The new version is called Powershell and it is about as robust as UNIX/Linux shell commands.

[Montyleeny14]

Oh I see, thanks :)

[TheBarbzArcade]

No...there's also a GUI

[vitomax]

Another great posting. Thank you so much.

[Menimitz]

I'm very new to this Linux Terminal and these videos are teaching me more than anything else I have stumbled across on the internet. Thanks

[holland151]

I've got a lot to learn about Linux for the Cyber Defense Competition... your videos are very helpful... Thank you!

[roywilliams61]

This is ancient. Tell me something I don't know.

[jcdock]

If you know this then tell us why you watched it!!

Some people are new to linux and don't know what their are doing in terminal.

[kut77less]

So you have to use the Terminal just to rename or move a file what?

[Tspider4]

mv (move) is the script of rename.

This tutorial is just for LEARNING using the Terminal. If you know how to do this, you can learn difficuler scripts.....

[Aprijan247]

Thanks for posting this tutorial. I'm new to using the terminal so this video was very helpful. I intend on checking out your other videos!
