Hey.
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
the 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 a root which is considered as the super user, as the most powerful
users to do all the administrative tasks as root user have all the permissions.
Similarly, the root user also have a root directory, which is root users 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.
