\section{Getting Started with the Command Line}
%===================================================================
\label{sec_command_line}

Most of the exercises in our primary labs are given from the
perspective of the command-line interface (CLI). If you're not
familiar with the command-line, this is a powerful mode of interfacing
with your computer that, for many, {\em far} surpasses the efficiency
afforded through a pure point-and-click GUI experience. For Mac users,
the command line comes by way of the Terminal application. For
GNU/Linux users, you are very likely already accustomed to opening a
console or shell window.

The below couple sections help very new users get started a bit. 
Just enough so we can reach the goals of our lab. Much more information
can be found on the web, and there are a few help pages related to the 
command line on the workshop help page:

Finally let's not overlook help already on your system. For any given
GNU/Linux command, \cmd{foobar}, try one of the below to get further
information.

\begin{consoleverb}
 $ man foobar
 $ foobar --help
