Heh... you might not think so, but I used to be quite DOS savvy, so the prompt doesn't seems all that weird to me. I even long back to the DOS days sometimes. That's the main reason I want to learn more about Linux, but I have to admit that I'm pretty lazy about this and always postpone it.

I feel so stupid not recognizing those commands. I guess ten years of Windows GUI has garbled my brain.

Thanks for the explanation!
