For today's #homeschool computer class, we put some of our #Linux command line knowledge to use by organizing our ~/Downloads directory.

Normally, we use Midnight Commander to manage files, but today we used ls, cd, mv, and rm to move around and manipulate files.

To examine files, we used feh, unzip, file, less, and locate.

We learned a technique for safely using the rm command with wildcards. First issue the ls command with the wildcards, examine the output, and if it looks okay, visit the previous command in your history (up arrow or C-p) and replace "ls" with "rm".

We also did a little experimenting with the animate (ImageMagick) command to view animated .gif files.
