FIRST STEPS: Ubuntu #2

IMPORTANT!!!
The first thing you should do is to set superuser password!
Run your Terminal:

Applications > Accessories > Terminal
And type a command: sudo passwd

Now, you may be interested in additional Terminal capabilities.
The most accessible source of information about any command is the Terminal itself. Just type: man [command name] or check on-line.
Also about Manual Pages.


You can learn much more about the Shell from the "Bash Guide for Beginners" by Machtelt Garrels
