hi,
I am up the only user on my system ( up until a week ago ), and therefore I am the admin with sudo rights.
I have my own home folder.
if one executes the following two commands in one line, as follows,
rm -rf dir ; cp -r dir2 dir
it may complain that cp can not create directory dir/subdir: File exists
but if these two commands are executed in two lines, no errors will be thrown. I am just wandering what is the difference?
Hi, I just switched from Windows like many others. The problem is, I am already very very accustomed to the graphical GUI found in Windows rather than the terminal commands commonly used in Linux. Usually in Windows when I google something, I can memorize which windows opens which settings to amend and tinker around with the buttons...
Best Beginners Linux Commands
By Dennis Frank Parker
There are many common Linux commands that will be to your benefit, if you ever even use your command line software in Linux. Many average users just use the graphical user interface instead which usually provides many tools and front-ends to Linux common commands.
I am really a newbie in linux.
Finally my sister gave me my old laptop back and i decide to install kubuntu 11.10 on it.
i am really happy with this linux distribution and i already have personalized it quite a bit.
but i also realised that linux is much more sensetive when you reboot it in comparison to windows!

Lately I have been dealing with rather large files in Linux. I often use commands like sed, cut, sort, uniq, awk, and perl to slice, dice, and view the contents of these large files.
Published at LXer:
There comes a time in every Linux users life when you will open the Terminal more often than not because you have realized that it is faster, more efficient and more powerful than GUI (Graphical User Interface). Youll have started to learn more and more commands and now feel more comfortable with command prompt.
Hi, I've installed 11.2 KDE on a very old samsung V20 specs here: http://www.laptopshop.co.uk/brouchers/samsungV20.pdf
My problem is that when I boot I get a black screen with just the mouse pointer. I can boot in failsafe fine, but the graphics are horrible.
