Terminaal is hardly cryptic.
Good video but what i would say to anyone who REALLY wants to learn BASH (terminal to osx users) then install a linux distro with just the shell (no gui or fancy shit).
BASH and OS X Terminal are both the exact same, except i have noticed in osx term is that it is missing a couple of commands.
Yes, there are many text editors available to you from the command line. I won’t get into it here, but the most common text editors in Unix are nano, emacs, and vi. Out of those three I use emacs most often, but there’s a lot to learn and go over when using emacs. For really basic editing, nano might be a better choice.
Not really. I partitioned my 120 GB hard drive into 2 equal 60 GB parts. One partition is for storage and the other 60 GB is where Tiger and all my apps live. I admit to being lazy with my data management and am currently about a week overdue with backing things up (normally backup every 2 weeks). Generally speaking as long as you have 15 percent free space on your hard drive, HFS+ will be able to keep fragmentation to a minimum. 9 gigs is the minimum free space for a 60 GB partition.
When I switched from Windows to OS X, it was my first time using a *nix based command line and I was pissed when I couldn’t view my files from the command line by typing “dir”. Most Windows users have never touches a Unix based OS and that’s why I say it’s sort strange when you first open the terminal application.
If you want to work with any directories, applications, or files with spaces simple enclose the name in quotation marks. For example, to create a new folder with spaces the command would look like
mkdir “My New Folder”
You can even use the Tab key to auto-complete long file names with spaces after you get the first quotation mark and some of the letters typed in. I may do a follow-up video with more on the terminal, but I do want to go on to other topics. Peace.
Great Video, Hope you do more on terminal, like some extra thing you might be able to do, also, is there a way to use Terminal with files that have spaces in the name?
I would say Linux tries to emulate Unix since Linux was developed as a means of running a powerful OS dedicated to mainframes on cheap PC hardware on Linus’ computer when he was in college.
Anyhow, some programs do not have OS X counterparts and I use my installation of Windows in VM to run the legit copy of Microsoft Office 2003 I own.
that slash is calssed at the “root”
Guys trys these: ls (list files in dir)
rm (remove) cp (copy) rm -rf (recursive remove - fun) passwd (change password)

It’s from the Boeing 787 rollout ceremony from a year ago.

why to use windows or mac os since both try to emulate linux ?

Hey what type of plane is that?
737 757 777 767?

Cool thanks for the info :D
I was wondering, is it possible to open .txt files in terminal?
