 +===== Unix and Linux =====

 +Your home directory is named: ///home/YourLoginName//

 +====  Shells and Environment Customization ====
 + 
 +By default, you have a bourne shell (bash), meaning you can also type: //cd ~SomeLoginName// (eg: ~deatrich ) to reach your homedir. 
 +The bash shell has many features, read the man page for more help.
 +\\
 +If you want to modify your environment, then you typically need to edit your //.bash_profile// and/or your //.bashrc// file. For instance, suppose you want to add an alias to ...:
 +
 + $ alias 'lstime=ls -latr'
 +
 +This line means that every time you insert in the command line the command //lstime//, the bash will execute the more complex command //ls -lart//
