Welcome To Linux World (Introduction to Linux)

Hi and Hello to everyone,

Welcome to the linux blog. Here you can find a small thing about linux. If you want to become a system administrator or Linux administrator just use the every new command you read or came across practically at least twice.

Be in Touch with linux commands.

As a Part of Introduction I would like to introduce myself. I am working with computers field for the past 5 years. I also hate linux at the beginning like the normal human being, but when I started using linux I really hate using windows. Since there are lot of stuff in linux than windows.

Windows wont let you understand about your system. If you want to understand your system (computer) and want to know about each and every operations handled in system, then the best way is to choose linux.

To know about linux, first of all you should understand that there are no drives present in linux as they are in windows.

                       Windows                                         Linux

                               C


                                D

                                                                                                   /
                                E


                                F 

There is only one base directory in Linux and it is called as root directory. All other files and directories are come under root directory only. Root directory is denoted by the symbol " / ". If you are still confused then see this small comparison between directories of windows and linux given below

In windows say you have some "Music" folders in "C"  how will you denote it
                                           C:\Music

Say you have some other folder in Music folder with name "AAA" , then you will get that folder by path

                                         C:\Music\AAA

Similarly consider the above example in linux, you have some "Music" folders in "C"  then how will you denote it ?  See below

                                      /Music

If you want to access folder "AAA" in Music then you will give path

                                     /Music/AAA

Thats it... This is basic difference between navigation in Linux and windows.
