Sort of the difference between asking someone to do something for you
and doing it yourself. When you ask someone else it may or may not get
done the way you want it when you want it. Terminal lets you do exactly
what you want, so I usually end up there when things are in a weird
state like a file I can't seem to delete or to use a special tool to
take care of repetitive tasks or bulk changes. So I'd start with working
through a few tutorials and post here if you get stuck or something
doesn't make sense. Here are a few to start with:

Great! This will help a lot. Thank you very much!
So since there is so much to do with Terminal, what do those of you who
use it do with it? What got you into it and why do you use it?

There is a command called "man" which gives you the manual page for any command
which can help with figuring things out. So you can do
man ls
to get all the info you might care to read about the ls command.

Brandon,
I am very new to this and only know a little like how to change
directors as well as simple commends like LS .
I am reading through a book in iBooks about uNix but was wondering if
you know of a place I can get a simple list of more of the basic commands.
I am flying blind her win more tha one way. I guess i just need a
direction. I don't really have an end goal which might make things harder. All
I know is I want to be able to use this thing because I hear it's powerful and
I want to know why. Open source programs and the like.
Anyway, thank you for any tips here.

It really depends on what you want to know. I don't have any ersources, but
know a lot about using terminal, so ask whatever questions you might have.

Calling all geeks!
I have been digging around and trying to heather resources to teach
myself how to use Terminal.
I have learned some basics but wanted to put out some feelers and see
if you guys had some resources that you could recommend.
I appreciate any tips and I am off to search archives
