Not which part...

It's more LVM at all which is irritating or better a xterm plus LVM.
Most teachers seem to have a big aversion to everything which only might look 
as a xterm. 
And this is from more than 10m distance...

 Founding a religion is always the second best way to become rich without
 work. The best way would be founding a bank.

Second may make you famous.
 It will be the first proof for a body moving faster than lightspeed. Might be
 good enough for a nobel price.
