Fantastic game so far, thoroughly enjoying it !

Could REALLY use working wildcards.
The only wildcards that work is for "all" ie rm *
If you try to rm Sh* you can't do it so you need to type in VERY long filenames

Sometimes case sensitivity matters sometimes it does not. Really it should all the time in Linux/UNIX

Could also REALLY use the cp command. :) I wanted to backup certain things. Not saying too much due to spoilers :) Getting through it quickly and enjoying it all.

Don't expect to be able to do things like ls -la, just basics ls will work.
Still, this game is AWESOME !

Agree on all points!
Yes the lack of wildcard functionality really seems contrived. If you had a stack of files starting with S to delete you could use rm S*

They could have made it even more realistic by making it more difficult and having to use things like ranges
eg rm S*[0-3] and other combinations. :)

Anyway, still loving it. :)

Which reminds me of a slightly annoying bug....

For the commandline i'll tell it 'cd /log', then before looking i typed 'rm *' to remove all files. Naturally it wouldn't switch the directory and instead i deleted all the binaries on the computer...

Lacking wildcards is definitely annoying. it doesn't hint or probably allow you to use a semi-colon for command separation, so you probably couldn't do 'FTPbouncer.exe 21; WebWormhole 80; Porthack'.

Course i'd like also to see being able to write your own scripts similar to bash, more specifically so you could to decryptcat instead of decrypting, then looking at the file, then deleting it afterwards (assuming they even notice or care?)

If you hit tab afer the first couple of letters the long file names will complete as long as they are unique. As in a real system if a file name is not unique it will complete as far as it can then if you put in the next character and hit tab again it will fill in the rest or the letters that match.
Example
There is a file named
@56_some_stuff_here
and another
@56_some_other_stuff

if you type @ and hit tab it will complete as far as @56_some_ and then wait for you to put in the next character. type s then hit tab again it will complete the whole file name, @56_some_stuff_here. If you hit o on the other hand it will complete the filne name as @56_some_other_stuff

makes it a lot quicker!

On the other commands I would have liked to see vi on there. Also touch and finger. (Yes they are real commands :-) )
I would have liked ls to have -a and -l as that could give more info to you. But that is just me.
a Vi ou Vim would also be usefull !
