Was reading up about renaming directories to begin with a '.' makes them hidden in other distros. I don't have my tablet (being replaced under warranty, WSoD i think, will not be here for at least a week)

Searched but i could not come up with anything here or google.
Any reason that should not create a hidden directory or file?

TIA

Yes, the leading . makes a hidden file or directory.
And the -a option of ls shows them.

'-A' option of ls is better because didn't show '.' and '..' entries ;-)
