From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

New users should try to take a little time to read the basics, not suppose things then ask strangers in the internet.
This was an unknown unknown for OP. Again, it's completely fair for a new user to see the
aliasfeature, think "ah, that's built for aliasing one thing to another, let me try it for this directory name", and be confused when it doesn't work. OP can't know what they don't know.And the open source community is just that, a community. Asking questions in forums is the accepted practice. And "basic" is hard to define. What is basic for you isn't basic for someone else, in the same way that what is basic for someone else isn't basic to you.
Wow, you are unable to even read the post you reply under.
They said that they don't know, what terms to use for their search.
Wow, I replied to a reply, not to the original poster. Anyway, I still stand by my idea.
