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.

will trap and redirect terminal output.
So consider any old commmand and its output:
echo abc
This invokes the echo command and echo outpts "abc" to terminal.
If we add on >> we can catch and redirect the output:
Will capture the output "abc" into the file.
Note this is an APPEND operation, so run it twice to the same output file and you'll add more and more output to new lines at the end of the same file.
