Remember that when entering code from the UF or some other web page that you can Copy/Paste in Linux easier than Windows. And it will keep you from making a mistake.

Just highlight the word/phrase/bit-o-code that you want to copy, move to the Terminal and press down on your mouse wheel.

It will pate it there for you.

In Linux there is no need to:

Right click, select Copy.
Move to the application and right click, select Paste.
