Okay, so welcome back to this lesson. So we
have learned about Linux directory structure
and how it is implemented in
Linux. We have seen that there are different directories that
we are going to understand. So let's begin with the
first and the most important one which is slash root. Remember
any directory name in
Linux starts with a slash now slash represents. Actually
that this is a directory and
the files do not have a slash starting
at their beginning which means those are files. This
is a very very basic and small differentiation to
understand that it is a file or a folder.
Now let's understand about Slash root. Now.
This is the home directory of all the
powerful root user. Now in Linux.
There is a user which is root which is considered as
the Superuser as the most powerful users
to do all the administrative task
as root user have all the
permissions.
Similarly root user also have a
root directory, which is root uses home directory.
Now everything on your Linux system is located under
the slash directory known as the
root directory. So you can basically think of the slash
directory as being similar to C directory in
your Windows operating system.
But actually this isn't strictly true as
Linux doesn't have Drive letters. So in
this directory root user can make his files, which is
the home directory for the root user remember in
Linux all the directories start from slash, which
is very very important. I hope you guys understood.
Thank you.
