'''Terminal''' provides a Bash shell command line, with access to all of the usual cryptic Unix commands, which are generally considered beyond the capabilities of elementary-school children. However, there are always exceptions. A good starting point is [http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/CommandLineIntro/WebHome Introduction to the Gnu/Linux Command Line] from FLOSS Manuals.
 
 
 
Midnight Commander is a character mode file manager that can run directly in Terminal. Install it with
 
 
 
sudo yum install mc
 
 
 
Be sure to configure Lynx-like motion in '''Options:Configuration'''. This lets you navigate the directory tree with the cursor keys.
 
 
 
The user can configure Sugar either in the UI, or using sugar-control-panel from the command line.
 
 
 
One of the most requested commands is
 
 
 
setxkbmap ''keyboard''
 
 
 
where ''keyboard'' can be us (US English), dvorak, fr (French), and so on. See [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboards olpc:Keyboards] for more.
 
 
 
Many terminal users find a white-on-black terminal easier on the eyes than the black-on-white Sugar's Terminal defaults to. You can edit the file <tt>~/.sugar/default/terminalrc</tt> and swap the values of <tt>fg_color</tt> and <tt>bg_color</tt> to switch to white-on-black.
