For linux one can use `xdg-open .` to use the associated application. Works with pdf, image files, videos, etc.

I have the alias x=xdg-open in my .bashrc, so that I use `x somefile` to open files.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! "open ." is post-it note worthy.

Also «open somefile.txt» can open, well, any file or directory, just as if you double clicked it. It works on multiple files, too. And possibly URLs, but I don’t have a mac anymore to check.
