Title: linux command line editing help and configuration

The Linux equivalent of your administrator login in Windoze is root. Login as root with the appropriate password. Now do something, open the terminal .... from menu->system tools-> terminal

There type

Code: [Select]

pico /etc/samba/smb.conf

And you can do the rest of oyur editing, saving, etc.
