Footnotes

 

… NAME=“87”>.1.1

A terminal is just a keyboard and a screen that are connected to the computer through the network, over a modem, or directly. Your keyboard and monitor form a terminal that is directly attached to the computer: This special terminal is often called the console.

 

… Hacker1.2

Note that the term “hacker” should not be confused with the term “cracker.” In short, a hacker is benevolent, whereas a cracker is generally considered malevolent. Movies and other forms of media many times incorrectly use the term “hacker” instead of “cracker.”

 

… loader2.1

A boot loader is responsible starting an operating system’s boot procedure.

 

… drivers2.2

See your hard drive manual for a description of these features.

 

…-KILL5.1

Many people use the signal number -9 instead of the signal name -KILL. However, it’s technically more portable to use the signal name.

 

… operator6.1

Depending on your keyboard, this may either appear as a vertical bar or a broken vertical bar, but it can almost always be found above the backslash ().

 

… all6.2

Actually, files beginning with . are not included in the expansion of *.

 

… catch13.1

Sparse files and hard links are two examples.
