FAQs
Q: How do I switch between different levels in the terminal?
A: Each level is designed to be accessed separately on the ADMIRUX.com website. You can choose to start with the beginner level and progress to the intermediate and advanced levels as you become more comfortable with the commands.
Q: What should I do if a command is not recognized?
A: Ensure that the command is spelled correctly and that it is supported at your current level. Some advanced commands may not be available in the beginner or intermediate terminals.
Q: Can I practice these commands on my own Linux system?
A: Yes! The simulated terminals are designed to mimic real Linux environments, so you can practice the same commands on your own system. However, be cautious with commands that can modify or delete files.
