Coding Challenges
1Explore Your Linux Environment
Open a terminal and run the following commands in order: print your username with whoami, print your current directory with pwd, display the current date and time with date, print your Linux kernel information with uname -a, and finally echo the message 'I am learning Linux basics' to the terminal. Screenshot or copy the output of each command.
Mini Project
Linux Distribution Research Report
Using only the terminal, create a directory called linux-intro in your home directory. Inside it, create a file called distros.txt. Using the echo command and output redirection (>>), write the names and one key feature of five Linux distributions into that file. Then use cat to display the file contents, and use uname -a to record your own system's kernel information into a second file called my-system.txt. Finally, list both files using ls -lh to confirm they exist and show their sizes.
