Terminal is a full-screen text mode program that provides a Command-Line Interface (CLI) to the software on a Linux system, such as the Fedora Linux that Sugar on the XO is based on. Users type (sometimes cryptic) commands to perform file management, system administration, or in fact almost anything that can be done within Linux that does not involve graphics or video.
-For example, typing **pwd** (Print name of current/Working Directory) at the command line in the home directory gives that location as /home/olpc, and typing **ls** at the command line in /home/olpc in a fresh installation of Sugar 0.94.1 in English results in this listing of its contents.
