From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why ask for help if I can spend hours in "terminal flow" where I know every three character sequence for CTLR+R to suggest the last 10 commands in the history?

R is to read it's contents, x to enter

s (g+s) keeps the group for all new files in that directory the same as it's parent
