Hi Robert, Log files are generally stored under
/var/log/ I don't know of any of particular log file in here though that "logs Linux commands given by Gnome" When you plug in a usb flash drive, you should see some activity that you'll be able to see by typing in "tail /var/log/messages" which shows you the last ten lines of the log file (as it may be constantly changing as you read it) OR "less /var/log/messages" I'm assuming that you are interested in learning commands from the system as it goes about it's usual tasks, my suggestion is that you either get yourself a good book that has a chapter which references most basic Linux commands for easy lookup OR Google the particular command you are looking for. Either way, with time, practice and loads of patience on your part, the commands will become second nature, Benjamin M Wakhweya Kafuluz Technical Services Nsambya By-Pass Road Kampala -- A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
