noob here...where is the documents folder when in terminal?

[bakerbaker]

been cd .. and cd directory for the longest cant find it!

You don't see it because the name of the directory starts with a full stop ('.'). Try this:
alias ls='ls -AC'
ls
Then you should see the '.MyDocs' (or something like that) directory. Then try 'cd .My<tab>' and it should autocomplete the rest.

thanks TA-t3! im going now see if installing the rails gem in a directory works.

on a somewhat unrelated note, in fedora core 6 you can set

alias ll='ls -lA'

in /etc/bashrc, to have all users setup with that alias. what file can i edit on the n800 to get this done. i am not real familiar with the debian distro
