Terminal

Introduction

Terminal is an Activity that gives the Sugar user access to the GNU/Linux shell (similar to the Terminal program in Mac OS X or the Command Prompt in Microsoft Windows). It is an advanced activity for users who would like to explore the operating system at a deeper level and to access legacy and non-"Sugarized" applications. The Terminal activity is also used for occasional system maintenance.

More Info can be found on the Activities/Terminal page.

For information about how to use the GNU/Linux command-line, see Gnu/Linux Command-line Manual

What is new for users

The most obvious change to Terminal is the conversion to the new toolbar design. Beyond that, Terminal now includes tabs that lets one manage multiple sessions; sessions are saved and resumed in the Journal.

Terminal now supports the new toolbar design and allows tabbed shell sessions.
Click on the Tab toolbar icon to manage your tabs, Terminal Journal sessions will remember the tabs you create.
