Fedora Users — Re: home/$user directory files

the command "tail" gives you the last 10 lines on any text file (or any other file for that matter). When -f is added to the end of the command it gives you the last 10 lines, and "streams" the file until you press ctrl-z. It comes in handy when you are trying to troubleshoot.

Are you using a GIU, like Gnome or KDE?
