Some people are saying to use less or more. But what you really wanna do is dump the output to a text file then less or more the file. You can delete the file later
I always use my desktop for this bc the icons annoy me so I know I'll nuke it later.
But anyway this is better in general bc often you'll forget what the output was or you'll want to reference it somehow
/tmp
cries from neglect :DI only use tmp for scripts not for random crap I do in my term
/dev/shm is great for that. :) Automatically cleans up regardless of distribution.
Oh for sure. Anything other than the desktop just feels more offical somehow is the thing
