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.

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.

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?

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

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

They seem to do the same thing?

Is there a purpose why?

@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.

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.
