In this episode of the Linux Crash Course (formerly "Linux Essentials") series, we'll take a look at how to send tasks to the background, and then bring them to the foreground. This helps you get the current task out of the way so you can switch to something else, without having to use multiple terminal windows. ## Thanks to Linode for sponsoring this video - Set up your own cloud server with Akamai Connected Cloud ➜ *🐧 Donate to Learn Linux TV and Receive a PDF with tips for switching to Linux* Contains over 40 pages of tips and recommendations to help make your transition easier!
