tail +3 test.txt gives error message
Hi
I have a file test.txt
UNIX-prompt> cat test.txt
1

In UNIX I can use this command and see the records starting from the third one to the end.
UNIX-prompt> tail +3 t
3
4

How do I do this in Linux? The equivalent commmand does not seem to work, I am very new to Linux - just got the box, so I am not sure if this is a setting. Many things I have experimented with and tried I see are the same from UNIX to Linux.
Anyway, when I do this sampe command in Linux - I get this:
LINUX-prompt> tail +3 test.txt
tail: cannot open `+3' for reading: No such file or directory
==> test.txt <==
