What to do in PowerNex

  • Alt-{1-4} Switch between the four different virtual consoles.
  • Run help in the shell to get some built in commands.
  • To run a executable you need to write the path to it.
    • Basically just like a *nix shell, but you don't need to write './' if you are in the same directory as the executable, just the executable name is enough.
