Hi ,
it asks for what ?

this
 james@james-System-Product-Name:~$

seems to be your terminal prompt. It not ask for something , just waits for a command to execute. :)

Read these Unix tutorials here --> http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

Thanks

That depends what you are trying to do.

The Linux/Unix command line is very powerful. If your looking to learn whats possible there are many tutorials online and lots of good books too.

You could start by looking at any of the following

http://linuxcommand.org/
http://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html
http://www.howtoforge.com/useful_linux_commands

Most casual users however hardly touch it except when they have a problem and are asking for help from the more experienced users here.

If you are just trying to learn then good on you we need more people to learn and help others out; please mark this as solved.

If however, you have a specific problem tell us what you want to do and we will try to help.
