About the Video:

A super-basic introduction to the Linux command-line for beginners. I show the basic linux commands in a normal (point-and-click) graphical user interface, and then type out commands which do the same thing in a non-graphical environment ("the shell"). You'll learn:

1. How to see the current directory in the Linux filesystem.
2. How to change directories in Linux (with shortcuts).
3. How to see what's inside a directory.
4. (Bonus: where e-mail addresses came from!)
5. Where 'root' is on the filesystem.
