SSH shell: He says "Let there be colors" Shell Beginner Guid

[alouch47]

oh i forgot, is there somewhere where i can find a beginners guide to the most relevant stuff i need to know about the nas? Like i want to setup BASHPODDER, but all posts just say "Edit this and this file" without actually writing how i can edit it... where i should click...

So maybe bashpodder shouldn't be your first concern
If you don't even understand what's SSH is and how it works, maybe you should start by searching this forum or the internet.
Why do you guys always complain not to understand, when you don't even make the effort to try and understand.

You shouldnt call this a beginners guide. I'm a beginner, and i'm looking for some help with my duo. So i start to read your post because its aimed at beginners... I only reach to the point where you talk about SSH then i'm lost. Wonder what that is..
Oooh and then i reach the pre-requisites and my head explodes.
I mean, thumbs up for the effort, but you geeks kinda need to think a bit like a total newbie if you want to write stuff for newbies.

There are several levels of "newbiness"... As there are differences between being a newb and being completely unable to use the search bar (which is FYI located on the top right hand corner of your web browser).

And oh I forgot. It says "SHELL" beginner guide, which assume you at least know what is / howto access the shell (as there are other threads in THIS forum that explains it )

Just imagine you have to make it understandable to a guy in the jungle... Or am i way off ?

uh? no. no have computer and readynas in jungle

Very handy, thanx! Please update the part where you say you'll need to logout / login to see the changes. This is soooo much easier:

Code: Select all

source .bashrc

Thanks, i've updated the first post

Try running apt-get update first. This will update all of the packages and what-not:

Code: Select all

Envious:~# apt-get update
Get:1 http://archive.debian.org etch Release.gpg [1033B]

Then:

Code: Select all

apt-get install nano

Hi everyone.

Not quite sure it has already been posted, so I thought I just share some tips.
It's just "basic" Linux knowledge, so it won't be of great interest for those who are already familiar with this, but others may find this useful. I won't just throw what to modify, but I'm going to explain some of the very basic Linux commands too.
.......

very helpful to me.
made all the changes - loving the colours
thank you !!
