linux terminal Introduction to Linux MOC
The Linux GUI is an abstraction of the terminal. Unlike Windows PowerShell, the terminal can completely manipulate the OS.
Prompt
The prompt can be customized and receives input
The prompt corban@cyber:~$ shows that there is a user account “corban”, the hostname is “cyber”, and the current directory is the home folder (”~”).
If the prompt is run as root, the ”$” typically becomes ”#”, as in corban@cyber:~#
Shell
The shell runs the programs. The most common is bash.
Bash stands for Bourne Again Shell, and the default path is /bin/bash
