This displays how much memory is being used by each directory below in
level
to your current directory. For example if you run it from the root

head Will show the begining of a file.
For example head filling will show the first ten lines of the

including something similar to head -15 filling will show the first fifteen
lines of the file filling.

the head command only it shows the last lines of a file for example

Again the amount of lines can
be altered by typing something similar to tail -20 filling to display the
last 20 lines of the

User Groups
A user group is generally considered to be a group of
people who share a collective interest that meet on a regular basis.
In this case the interest is Linux and the meetings vary in regularity
though in general they are monthly meetings.
There are many Linux User Groups around the world (thousands
of them) here are some of the better ones. If you know a good group
let me know about it. Simply send the name of the User Group the
location of where it meets (so I know geographically where it is) and if
it has any specialities.
