→‎Purpose of Having a Matrix Account
Just like with other operating systems like MS Windows, it is important to learn how to '''open a command prompt in order to issue Linux commands to perform common Linux OS tasks'''. In Unix/Linux, a '''shell''' is simply an interface / interpreter to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system (server). Linux shells have evolved (improved) over a period of time. You will be using the '''Bash Shell''' which is considered to be user-friendly.
 
The '''Matrix''' server has been configured to allow users to '''only interact with the Linux OS by issuing commands'''. There are various reasons for this, but the main 2 reasons are to '''force students to learn how to issue Linux commands''' as well as '''limitations to remote access to a graphical Linux serve'''r due to large number of users (students).
Later in the course, your instructor may discuss other ways of accessing '''graphical versions of Linux''', and how to launch a shell terminal.
