linux-howto

http://stackoverflow.com – Surprisingly I could not find a straight-forward answer to this question on here yet. I am still learning Linux. Say I have downloaded a zip file to my Downloads folder. Now, I want to move it into a protected folder, like /opts or /var. Is there a good command to both sudo move AND unzip the file to where I need it to go? (HowTos)

In the root of my drive there exists a folder called SourceControl that contains all the working copies of all my programming projects.

I would like to move the folder to my user directory (\Users\Me), but something about the permissions on the folder forbids me.

I understand that my Galaxy Nexus does not actually have an SD Card, but an SD card folder, right? So for best performance I can move some files, like most downloaded apps, to the SD Card folder. Maybe data files like eBooks, right? Then I get lost. I have downloaded a couple of apps that are supposed to help me move things to the SD Card, but I don't quite get how to move them.
