Hi,

is this a multiple choice question?

But seriously, we can help you, but we will not do your homework for you (as per site rules). Can you give some context to your question? Explain what you have done to try to find the answer on your own?

Evo2.

.bash_history is where it's stored, I can't remember how to change the limit.
