I noticed a minor 'edit war' in an answer (NB: broken link, I'm guessing the answer was deleted) regarding whether or not we should promote $ at the front of command line instructions.

Is one of these preffered over the other? Or should it be left to the original author's discretion?

1. sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
2. $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
3. # apt-get dist-upgrade

(I'd imagine we generally discourage #3)
