Issue commands that find, copy and manipulate files
Install Linux on a computer, (including Raspberry Pi)
Install software
login to a remote machine
setup a web server
Install a website system (CMS)
Track changes in code
Build a basic HTML webpage
Run applications in "containers" where they are easier to manage.
