Are there any Linux equivalent of the Mac OS X "open" command?
Answer:
The Mac OSX's open command is a very handy tool for opening file, without the need to sepcify the program name.
In Linux, you have two choices:
1. xdg-open
# xdg-open test.html
2. see
# see test.html
Both command will open the file by your default web browser.
