Scroll Backwards From the Ubuntu Server Command Line

When you are on the Ubuntu server console, you will invariably run commands that scroll past too far to see them on the screen. Since you aren’t in X, there’s no scrollbar for you to use to look back.

Scroll Backwards:

Shift + Page Up

Scroll Forwards:

Shift + Page Down
