Online Linux terminals



they have their uses as a teaching tool, but the only way to really learn and understand Linux, is to install it and use it
 
The answer is pretty much a no. Below is a pic of a painful few minutes waiting for the "terminal" to actually respond, and it ended up with a "system error" that stopped the trial altogether.

Far better to access the linux terminal from a live disk which will provide a much more responsive experience. A live disk can be booted to the RAM of any computer whose BIOS/UEFI has enabled booting from a usb, or cd or dvd. It won't touch whatever is on the disks on the computer, unless the user does that deliberately. Better still is an actual installation of a linux distribution on a computer.

For software development though, where one is storing one's code in whatever forms, it would really benefit from a full linux installation on a computer so that access and storage are readily accessible.

Thank you @Brickwizard and @osprey for the fast replies.
Guess I'll go for full Linux install then.

Good choice, and if you haven't already, please read the first three post in the Getting started forum.

Oh and welcome to the forums
