Summary

---

In this chapter, we have taken your knowledge of the shell to a new level. You saw new shell commands as well as new shell script techniques. However, perhaps the most important thing you saw in this chapter is the use of shell-based editors. You will find that many Linux aficionados prefer the shell-based editors, such as vi, over the graphical editors, such as KWrite. At least a passing familiarity with these shell-based editors is a requirement for working with Linux in a professional setting. With the growing popularity of Linux in the business world, it is entirely possible that some readers may find themselves using Linux in their workplace, either now or in the near future.
