Introducing the Shell - Overview language - local vs remote

[awnorowski]

Consider rewording the questions and objectives in the overview to reflect working in a remote server. Alternatively, add a sentence in the "How to access the shell" section explaining that the shell commands covered in this lesson can be used on both local machines and remote servers.

Questions
What is a command shell and why would I use one?

How can I move around on a remote server?

How can I see what files and directories I have?

How can I specify the location of a file or directory on a remote server?

Objectives
Describe key reasons for learning shell.

Navigate a remote server using the command line.

Access and read help files for bash programs and use help files to identify useful command options.

Demonstrate the use of tab completion, and explain its advantages.

Hi @awnorowski, thanks for the suggestions! I agree that the language used could be misleading for learners.

add a sentence in the "How to access the shell" section explaining that the shell commands covered in this lesson can be used on both local machines and remote servers.

I think this is a good idea, perhaps with the caveat that the commands for Windows users would be different
