Hi !

Can anyone tell me what command line syntax I would type to find out how many directories are in my system. 

As a super user:

find /// -type d -print | grep -c /// 

That is a unique solution, especially compared to:

	find / -type d -print | wc -l

Or, if you must use grep:

	find / -type d -print | grep -c .
