I'm thinking that we may not want to pull out each command; seeing as they're so short? Maybe something like:

Get your bearings - (the terminal, the file system, pwd, ls)
Go exploring - (cd, cat, `ls -F`, man) 
Make your mark - (mkdir, touch, nano, cp, mv)
Cleaning up - (rm, rmdir, rm -rf)

Alternatively:

Get your bearings - (the terminal, the file system, pwd, ls)
Go exploring - (cd, cat, `ls -F`, man) 
Working with files - `(touch, nano, cp, mv, rm)
Working with directories - (mkdir, rmdir, rm -rf, cp -r)


For those of you using a Mac or Linux computer, you have the UNIX command line already! Congratulations! For those of you on Windows, you'll need to install [Linux within a Virtual Machine](http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox).

This book will assume you are using a Mac. Although you can use the command line on any machine, some specific directions may vary depending on the operating system you're using.

I'd prefer if we didn't assume people were on a mac, as that makes may alienate people without access to linux machines :(. Can we make it a goal to provide both mac and linux instructions when possible?
