Summary


In this chapter, we covered a lot of ground to give you a good foundation for the chapters that follow, in which you learn how to use the command line to perform a variety of more complex tasks. Among the things you learned in this chapter are

  • What virtual consoles are and how to use them

  • How to use the command history

  • How to edit commands as you're typing them

  • How to use man and info pages to get help on the commands you'll encounter in following chapters

If all this information about command lines seems complex and confusing to you, don't despair. As we work together through the next few chapters, the shell will begin to seem both familiar and helpful to you.
