All Questions(ubuntu)

I would like to know how could I move all files from a folder to another folder with a command line.

Let's say I'm in my Downloads folder and there are a 100 files that I would like to move to my Videos folder, without having to write all the files name.

I have both Windows 7 and Ubuntu installed on a shared machine. Because a lot of the non-developers use Windows, I'd like to change the boot order to make it easier for them.

Currently the boot order looks like the following:

• Ubuntu 11.10 kernelgeneric *86
• Ubuntu 11.10 kernelgeneric *86 (safe boot)
• Memory test
• Memory test
• Windows 7 on /dev/sda6

How do I change the default order so that Windows 7 is at the top of the list?

• Windows 7 on /dev/sda6
• Ubuntu 11.10 kernelgeneric *86
• Ubuntu 11.10 kernelgeneric *86 (safe boot)
• Memory test
• Memory test

This question exists as it fills a specific criterion. While you are encouraged to help maintain its answers, please understand that "big list" questions are not generally allowed on Ask Ubuntu and will likely be closed per the FAQ. More information on the software-recommendation tag.

What kind of desktop environments or shells are there for Ubuntu users to install?

Please list a desktop environment or shell for each:

• a description on why you like or suggest it (features, performance, etc.).
• a good screenshot, preferably of it running on Ubuntu and showing off some of its features.
• the minimal requirement for it to be usable, If there's any setting to lower it's requirement (Like kde's low-fat profile); how to enable the said setting
• some instructions on how to set it up if in the repositories, please provide a software centre link

The closest I've gotten is

# rm /path/to/directory/*.*

but that doesn't work for files that don't have an extension...

How can I make an application automatically start when I have logged in?
