CLI

h2l · 08-03-2009, 05:41 PM

I'm newbie who's interested in the CLI. One of my classmate at UCLA brought his IBM laptop one day and showed me the black screen with green lines and told me some of the amazing things he did with Linux like making free phone calls by typing some codes. Of course I'm not saying I'm going to go crazy on harassing phone calls once I learn how to do it, I'm just simply curious on the capacity of CLI, Linux, and technology in general. And I think I just need some jump start on learning CLI.

Hi, welcome to LQ,

and I apologise for the somewhat weird response above.

I'll move this thread to our members intro forum since it doesn't involve
any technical questions from your side. :}

Cheers,
Tink
