grep is just a way to use regular words to sort and see only certian info.
in the above command, rpm -qa (asks the rpm program to Query All so -qa) then
"|" is a "pipe to" or route thru, then, grep -i Windowmaker says only answers
that (-i) include "WIndowmaker" so grep strips out all the answers that don't
include "Windowmaker"
Wow... Thx Ed! Thats the easiest answer & way to remember this stuff. :) Up till the books I'd read about using grep were very confusing. Thx
