The command is apt-get, not app-get.

You need to be root danx. So make sure rootsh is installed and after that you open your terminal, type gainroot, followed by enter. Then you give the apt-get command.

The necessity to be root is to protect you from doing bad things by accident.

edit: I missed the typo pointed out by rob1n.

A file or a folder will be hidden by putting a point (".") before the name. Like /home/user/.secret.txt for files or /home/user/.secret-stuff/fil.txt for folders. Note where i put the "."

so hide them by:
Code:
mv /home/user/secret-stuff/ /home/user/.secret-stuff/
To unhide them..
Code:
mv /home/user/.secret.txt /home/user/secret.txt
Edit: Like Rob1n said.. this is not a security feauture.. it will not prevent someone knowledgable about linux to find them. It is mostly to make it easier for you to find and sort through your files. Like most configuration files are not necessary to be visible.

There isn't a hidden attribute for files/folders in Linux. If a file/folder starts with a "." then it's not displayed by default in "ls" or most file browsers though.

Re: X Terminal Commands for Noobs
 
For those who are serious about messing around with the command line then I suggest you install ssh-server on the N900 and ssh into it from a desktop. That way you have a comfortable screen/keyboard to work with and you can have loads of browser tabs opened where you copy+paste commands/code into your ssh window. Plus if you have any problems you can copy+paste the errors into google.
