In short, these commands are well knowing in the linux mint terminal because of their function purpose for shot cuts. These command are used in almost everyday life as an engineering software commands. However, the most difficult one I have came across by doing this lab was the tar. I created the tar file and it was zip and when I try to use tar to extract the file it came out and created a folder on the desktop. Which I hope was correct. As well for the other commands everything went well and it was more strange forward.
The netstat command used to examine various network settings and statistics.This command used to determine if a remote location is reachableThe apt-get update command used to update the system packages from the repository of the linux mint program.
