With tab-completion and other terminal shortcuts, working in the command line is usually MUCH faster than lifting your hand from the keyboard, using the mouse, and then returning your hand to the keyboard. Also, you can use Command Prompt in Windows and "Terminal" in OS X; it isn't just "Linux [that] makes everything unnecessarily more complex." The ability to use commands like Snubs mentioned in this episode exists on every OS.

This is an excellent segment. The reason I haven't switched AMONG A TON OF OTHER PEOPLE is because I'm afraid of the terminal. PLEASE SHOW US THE WAY SHANNON!!

there are advantages and cons about everything. Depending on what you want to do, you can choose what to use.

What is the Return I was putting guest editions on Ubunto on my V box and it said to push return to close the window I had no idea what that meant

great vid. i just need a little help. I have my Pictures folder and within that I created Folder1. i know how to move files from Pictures into Folder1, this is done easily. Now i am having issues moving files from Folder1 out to Pictures. I am within the Folder1 directory when I type the command, "mv [option] -t Pictures" yet i am getting error mesages, can you only move files into a folder within a folder and not the other direction?

I learned Linux on Red Hat back in college (1998) using the good old man pages!

This level of video isn't really my cup of tea. However, there are plenty of underclassmen in my university's ECE and CS departments that are just getting into working with Linux for the first time. I think they'll find these types of videos very informative and easy to learn from.

Hi I need help.. I install Kali linux and Ubuntu on virtualbox I can't seem to find/up the wlan0. I already did some research. I tried the downloading the compat-wireless it works but I can't put it on monitor mode and after I restart the machine it goes back to eth0 and wlan0 is gone again.

I don't think it's so much that Snubs doesn't trust terminal, it's more that we need to see the effects. Some people don't like the terminal, or might have a little difficulty later on with more advanced commands. It's easier to demonstrate the effects of each command with a familiar GUI.

best way to learn: man (insert command)

Hi what is the laucher you have there below th screen?

[Flackon]

it's more intuitive, but the cli is faster once you know how to use it.

[Gfirex]

all in fun keep up with the good vids :)

[HenrikSkogmo]

Is that good old gnome2, or whats going on with the window manager?

[TheMeanArena]

Exactly, I've always felt Linux just makes everything unnecessarily more complex to do simple tasks.

[prusaks]

Looks like you do not trust terminal and want to check if it does what you think it should. Therefore my suggestion would be to close nautilus and use '-v' instead. For example, "mkdir -v folder1", "mv -v folder1 folder2". Verbose applies to most if not all commands.

That's some proper hacker stuff right there! Uhuuuh!

[VideoNewZ]

Is there a command to undelete the files which are not in the trash bin and that were deleted

[JakeHeaden]
