For years, the focus of It's FOSS has been on desktop Linux. This is the reason why we mostly go for GUI solutions and tools. Though this is not changing, knowing the basic Linux commands gives you an edge while troubleshooting. And hence I am starting a new series this week. It's called 'Terminal Basics'. I aim to give you a base for doing some of the common things in the Linux command line. The tutorials are written in an interactive 'do it while you read it' manner. I have also added simple exercises to practice what you learn. You can further discuss your solutions and doubts in the [community forum](. Here's the first part of the series. Even if you are experienced with the commands, please give it a read and provide feedback by replying to this mail or leaving a comment.

The Flesch readability score uses the average length of your sentences (measured by the number of words) and the average number of syllables per word in an equation to calculate the reading ease. Text with a very high Flesch reading ease score (about 100) is straightforward and easy to read, with short sentences and no words of more than two syllables. Usually, a reading ease score of 60-70 is considered acceptable/normal for web copy.
