cd was a command in DOS days. I used it now and this is what I got:
rick at DeepThought:~$ cd /rick
bash: cd: /rick: No such file or directory
rick at DeepThought:~$ cd /home
bash: cd: /home: No such file or directory
rick at DeepThought:~$ sudo cd /rick
Password:
sudo: cd: command not found
rick at DeepThought:~$

I think I'm missing something.
