Welcome

Often you just want to read a file without opening a full editor. Linux gives you several quick ways to do that. In this lab you'll practice:

• cat — dump a whole file to the screen
• cat -n — same, but with line numbers
• head — show just the first few lines
• tail — show just the last few lines
• less / more — page through a longer file

You start in your home folder, and the files for this lab live in a subfolder called projects — a short haiku.txt and a longer server.log. First you'll move into that folder, then read the files.
