-====== Daily used commands ======+====== Daily used Linux commands ====== 
 + 
 +After starting our SliTaz base (see [[newbie#​training|here]]) we [[logged on]] and can see now, following a Welcome message, a short command line  [[prompt]]:​ 
 + 
 +<​file>​tux@dolilive:​~$ _</​file>​ 
 + 
 +Now we can immediately start to understand who is doing what:  
 + 
 +    * **tux**, is my [[login name]] 
 +    * **@**, is where I am "​at"​  
 +    * **dolilive**,​ something //like do_Linux_live//​ 
 +    * **:**, what we chose to do is awaiting us at the [[prompt]] and it will be actived here (in absence of some concrete object that would redefine the destination) 
 +    * **~**, is my «home» (**~** is the symbol for the home directory of the user logged in!) 
 + 
 +<note warning>​warning:​ **~** depends on the administrative rights you actually have</​note>​ 
 + 
 +If you are //root//, any data will be automatically registered in the special directory ///root//. The tree of the main directory is also named the //root of the file system//. The symbol / is the first sign that you see alone or in the first place of all the other paths! It is not possible to unbind the //root of the file system// and the main directory //root// is used by the administrator //root// for all of their transactions! This directory ///root// is a special directory as for example as it has to be in the same partition as the tree of main directories as well as hold the contents of the first level!  
 + 
 +The //home// of users is a subdirectory in the main directory ///home//! The path is as follows: 
 + 
 +<​file>/​home/​tux</​file>​ 
 + 
 +tux can be defined differently at the installation if you don't want to be called tux! In such a case the path would be: **/​home/​SomeWhatYouWillBe**. Both the contents of home, as well as the contents of //​SomeWhatYouWillBe//​ can also be contained in a separate partition. The automatic installer in the SliTaz Panel can help you to do that if you wish.  
 + 
 +We can enter now at the prompt our first command:  
 + 
 +===== ls ===== 
 + 
 +__You don't need to exit__ 
 + 
 +**ls** is a command to list files located in the actual directory. Adding parameters and/or paths it can do that in each directory where you have the rights and can do more than just showing the file names.  
 + 
 +Please test: 
 +    * ls --help 
 + 
 +(more? see [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Ls|here]]) 
 + 
 +And test now please: 
 +    * ls /usr/bin 
 +
