When using the ls -l command I don't know how to pause the listing so that I can see everything in a directory. Also can someone tell me how to find out the version of Linux I'm using please? When I type uname -a I am informed that I am using Linux but not what kind.
Thanks for any advice :-)
use the more command ls -l | more
Sometimes the file /etc/issue has OS details if present.
cat /etc/issue
Oh that's great David! A really quick and accurate reply. Thanks a lot :-)
Personally I prefer "ls -l | less" as I can
then scroll the output both up and down one line
at a time if I want to.
