Er, Hi.

 >     Here's another easy to use command, ll.

Interesting thing to point out as a command. It's actually not a Linux command
or executable, it's an alias supplied in some shell configurations on *some*
Linux distributions.  So, it's not a given that it's in one's version of Linux
at all.

If one is interested if they have it or not, they can use the command: alias

This will show all the aliases set in their shell.  And they can build their
own 'commands' using alias, too.

Most who?  That would be a clumsy way of using ls when the default without
arguments provides a nice layout.  ls -1 is handy when you need to pipe a
listing's worth of filenames in to something that parses it.

I hope this information is useful to some - mostly felt it important to be
clear about ll not being an actual command and isn't there on many systems.
