	Short Remedial Course
	Even though this book primarily targets administrators and “power-users”, we wouldn't like to exclude motivated beginners. This appendix will therefore be a crash-course describing the fundamental concepts involved in handling a Unix computer.
	Shell and Basic Commands
	In the Unix world, every administrator has to use the command line sooner or later; for example, when the system fails to start properly and only provides a command-line rescue mode. Being able to handle such an interface, therefore, is a basic survival skill for these circumstances.
	<emphasis>QUICK LOOK</emphasis> Starting the command interpreter
	A command-line environment can be run from the graphical desktop, by an application known as a “terminal”. In GNOME, you can start it from the “Activities” overview (that you get when you move the mouse in the top-left corner of the screen) by typing the first letters of the application name. In Plasma (and many other desktop variants), you will find it in the applications menu <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Applications</guisubmenu> <guisubmenu>System</guisubmenu></menuchoice> menu.
	This section only gives a quick peek at the commands. They all have many options not described here, so please refer to the abundant documentation in their respective manual pages.
