# Introduction In this lab, we will explore the `head` command in Linux, a powerful utility for previewing the beginning of text files. Imagine you're a digital detective tasked with quickly scanning through numerous files to find crucial information. The `head` command will be your trusty magnifying glass, allowing you to peek at the start of files without opening them entirely. We'll simulate a scenario where you're investigating a collection of log files from a busy web server. Your goal is to efficiently examine these logs to identify potential issues and gather insights. Through this practical exercise, you'll learn how to use the `head` command effectively, making your file exploration tasks faster and more efficient.
