Cos technically terminal/console would imply "device (physical/virtual) for data entry and display in a computer system". In every terminal, Linux OS facilitates your interaction with the underlying HW resources through a Shell program. Which provides an interaction mechanism of typing command in its prompt. So one would say, to be technically correct, type in the shell prompt. In stone age, terminals used to be real devices and now they have become virtual. But we have always typed our command in shell prompt . :P > > > > I think, this will make your linux box much colorful. > > > > This link has excellent stuff.
