Although every shell provider gets to decided which programs are available to its users, there are many useful programs that should be installed on your shell. nano is a simple text editor. Its less complicated than other famous unix text editors like emacs but still gets the job done for most tasks. To edit an existing file, type "nano filename.txt" where filename is the file you would like to edit. To create a new file, just start nano without any arguments. The keyboard shortvuts are really easy, and are listed at the bottom pane. ^ means the ctrl button. lynx is a text based webbrowser. Start it by running "lynx www.fingel.com" and use the left-right keys as forward and back, up and down keys to select links. Press G to go to a new URL. More documentation can be foud here: www.lynx.browser.org irssi or BithXBoth are text based IRC clients. Both operate similarly, I prefer BitchX for its virtual window feature. To connect just type irssi or BitchX followed by the network you wish to connect to. Once connected, /j to whicher channel you want to join. nmap is a security scanner capable of telling which ports are open on a machine, what OS they are running and also which services. Its interesting to run it againt yourself, IE, the computer you are using to connect to your shell. More information on nmap and its exhaustive amount of features can be found here: Insecure.org |
