Point 7 isn't actually linked to point 1: grep is a simple text searcher (and not part of Bash, just as notepad.exe isn't part of command.com or cmd.exe) and *defaults* to case-sensitive searches: add the -i switch to turn that off. "grep -i intel /proc/cpuinfo" will return what you're after. (There's a wealth of other information under /proc, like network and storage information, and much more accessible (IMO) than the Windows counterparts. Rather like the registry, but directly connected rather than needing a reboot for changes to take effect.)<br /><br />Bash itself was available years ago, but it's amazing to see an entire Ubuntu environment available, particularly with official support from Microsoft themselves.<br /><br />Very exciting development - time to switch my main Windows laptop back to the Fast Ring for a while, it seems!jas88https://www.blogger.com/profile/05563592458314214904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384857.post-67496705480343406182016-04-07T20:44:34.849+01:002016-04-07T20:44:34.849+01:00So much for standards eh?
