[ubuntu-uk] Installing Safari on Ubuntu

[Sean Miller]

Sorry, been using Unix for 20+ years so take these things for granted...

To explain, "~" is a character for the home directory of a person.  In
the following examples "$" indicates a command prompt and should be
ignored - it's just to illustrate it's a command, not narrative.

$ cd ~

takes you to YOUR OWN home directory

$ cd ~fredbloggs

takes you to Fred's

Same happens with paths....

$ ls ~fredbloggs

would list Fred's files, assuming you have permissions

$ ls ~/Desktop/install

would list the contents of the install "folder" on your desktop

etc.

That's what the "~" character does, anyway.
