I am asking this on behalf of my colleague.

My colleague is now using his Linux Desktop and is at the Linux terminal option. He is trying his very best to get to the root directory, but to no avail. All his efforts are in vain.

He is now stuck in the “username@username-desktop:~$” environment.

How can he go to the root directory?

I’ve done reasearch on linux and found out that linux is very cool and interesting. But, it is taking to long to figure out a hoax from the actual truth. How well does linux work on which ipods is what I am mainly wondering and still trying to find out because as soon as I get money for an ipod, pda, psp, ect., I will need to know what I need and want to buy. What I want is a device that is under 300$ and has linux on it and is the best that it can be.

(videos, emulators, and opera browsing would be very good)

My friend told me that its more stable then Microsoft product, so I thought I would give it a try. Since I started using Linux, my computer doesn’t crash, freeze, or even slow down. It boots up 5 times faster, and shuts down faster. I would think Windows would be more stable since you pay for it and its made by Microsoft, which is one of the richest company’s in the world?
