Excellent information Shawn, delivered with great enthusiasm. Keep them coming 🙂 I've been using Linux since back when Slackware CDs on Linux magazines was a thing, but I didn't know all the history behind why many of the different (and apparently redundant) directories exist.
Thanks Steve! It’s funny, I’ve actually created a course for Linux Essentials before (for CBT) and I’ve actually learned a few things this time around! It makes the “simple” Linux stuff fun for me to create!
I have been looking for a video like this for years.. Been on Microsoft since DOS and the linux system is rather frightening when you are coming in hot after discarding windows for ever :)
Good stuff Shawn. Thank you! I do have a question. When I go to /var/log folder and do an ls, it lists the contents in what I call a "horizontal" view. In this video, why does your ls command list them in a vertical format? It's the little things, ya know? The vertical output is much more undstandable to me vs. the horizontal. I hope this makes sense.
easier to handle/read by other programs (in theory but this hasnt been my experience), treats it like a database file instead of a text file, and uses less space stored in binary vs cleartext

Excellent. Making my learning much more meaningful. Please throw more light on the file system especially / and /root
Thanks for the insights on the Linux filesystem locations! 😀
No problem! I often forget how silly some of the legacy stuff can get. :)
Excellent videos! ... I just saw a couple of them and subscribe in the hope you continue to produce such a good content. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!

I'm so glad you're finding them useful! This essentials course is complete too, so no waiting for me to get around to finishing! :D

deep dive in file system
Thanks! There's a similar video for the Linux+ series I'm doing now too, if you're into filesystem stuff. :)
Why are log files going to be binary I stead of txt?
