      So the history that this command line book gives you is really interesting and I just read a blip that said it is in fact a play on less is more. That's pretty funny.

      Just caught that huh? 🙂

      Well I was thinking about it and thought it might be a joke if you see my post above but it was just confirmed now. I never knew less or more were commands before yesterday 😄

      In school, the profs all said that the initial commands for UNIX were thought up by a bunch of drunk college people.

      more its extremely limited. You can't even scroll back.

      EDIT: To be completely accurate you can scroll all over a page but you can't PAGE back. 😐

        The more I read the more sense Linux makes and the less sense Windows makes. Symbolic links are fantastic.

              So in regards to Wildcards, I see as an example they have Data??? which would be a file beginning with Data followed by exactly three characters. Does that mean we can do Data???? so on and so forth until we hit the character limit?

                If you don't know the number of characters, use *, so Data*

                  Yeah I'm just wondering how far that can go. Seems like a weird way to do it. I'm wondering the use case. I bet it's very limited.

                    Once you get deeper into regular expressions, you'll find that syntax changes between commands. Gets really annoying.

                          So the numbers 2 and 4 correspond to the number of hard links to the file. Is it more common to see hard links created than a symbolic link, even though symbolic links are more modern/capable of more? Just based on reading alone it seems weird that ln automatically assumes you want to create a hard link and you have to specify the -s modifier for a symbolic link. It feels like it should be the opposite: ln -h

                                      $150 travel cert - hell no! give me a free flight - it's just as likely you'll over sell that one too, and we'll be playing this game forever more.

                                        But you agreed to get bounced when you bought the ticket. You aren't owed the flight...

                                        Man that's hard to say with a straight face.

                                          Sadly - that is probably in the small print now-a-days.

                                            You agree that by purchasing this ticket we can forcibly throw you from the plane after you've boarded.

                                            Seems a bit insane. . .
