~~''Some introductory words what~~ the activity ~~is like. Any special things you~~ like to ~~mention that happened during~~ the ~~release cycle etc''~~

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 [http://en.flossmanuals.net/gnulinux|The Gnu/Linux Command-line Manual]

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.
