Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
I tried searching but probably didnt use the correct descriptor words.. Anyway instead of always having to hit ctrl+h or unhide them thru the menu.. is there a way to unhide all hidden folders.. or even just hidden but non-system folders/files permenantly?

mmmm... Ubuntu.
In Gnome? Open Nautilus, go to Edit/Preferences, and on the Views-tab enable the "Show hidden and backup files"-option.

Oh yes.. left out that tidbit of info.. Gnomes yes. Thanks for the reply! However is there a way to perform this in the command-line?

The settings are stored in Gconf, (desktop/gnome/file_views/show_backup_files and /desktop/gnome/file_view/show_hidden_files) so you could use gconftool-2 to edit them from command line.
Code:gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/file_view/show_hidden_files "true" gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /desktop/gnome/file_view/show_backup_files "true"

Also you use the "-a" parameter in the ls tool when you're viewing files from the shell.
"Some people says that if you run a Microsoft Midori iso backwards you will hear demon voices commanding you to worship Satan". But that's nothing. If you run it forward it will install Microsoft Midori.
