Question

Your boss at Techno Widgets, Inc., does not want to use Linux; she used it once before when only the shell interface was available. Create a table of the shell interface commands and the corresponding way of achieving the same result in Konqueror. Your boss also referred to a shell command called chown: find out what it means and whether Konqueror can perform the same function.

Answer 1

Table of basic shell commands vs Konqueror commands is given below

Shell Command	Functionality	Konqueror Method
ls	List folders and files	Opening the corresponding folder will do
cd	Changing Directory	To Go down the folder, Select the folder and press Enter. To Go Up, Select Go Menubar -> Up To Jump directly, File -> Open Location, Type the path and press Enter
mkdir	Create new folder	Edit Menu -> Create New -> Folder
vi <file name>	Create new file	Edit Menu -> Create New -> Text File
rm	Remove file	Edit Menu -> Move to Trash / Delete (Permanent delete)
mv	Move file, Cut - Paste	Edit Menu -> Cut , Paste in the target folder
cp	Copy file	Edit Menu -> Copy, Paste in the target folder

Chown commands is used to modify the owner of the document or directory. The same could be achieved in Konqueror by Edit Menu -> Properties -> Permissions Tab (Edit the details in this tab)
