Hey.

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,060
So welcome back to this lesson.

3
00:00:03,150 --> 00:00:10,050
So we have learned about Linux directory structure and how it is implemented in Linux.

4
00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:14,340
We have seen that there are different directories that we are going to understand.

5
00:00:14,340 --> 00:00:19,470
So let's begin with the first and the most important one, which is slash root.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,970
Remember, any directory name in Linux starts with a slash.

7
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:32,010
Now slash represents actually that this is a directory and the files do not have a slash starting at

8
00:00:32,010 --> 00:00:34,410
the beginning, which means those are files.

9
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:40,350
This is a very, very basic and small differentiation to understand that it is a file or a folder.

10
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:44,250
Now let's understand about slash root.

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,290
Now this is the home directory of all the powerful root user.

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:56,460
Now in Linux there is a user which is a root which is considered as the super user, as the most powerful

13
00:00:56,460 --> 00:01:03,000
users to do all the administrative tasks as root user have all the permissions.

14
00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:09,900
Similarly, the root user also have a root directory, which is root users home directory.

15
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:16,890
Now everything on your Linux system is located under the slash directory known as the root directory.

16
00:01:16,890 --> 00:01:24,000
So you can basically think of the slash directory as being similar to C directory in your Windows operating

17
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,630
system.

18
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:30,960
But actually this isn't strictly true as Linux doesn't have drive letters.

19
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,540
So in this directory, root user can make his files, which is the home directory for the root user.

20
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,090
Remember in Linux, all the directories start from slash, which is very, very important.

21
00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:43,440
I hope you guys understood.

22
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:44,160
Thank you.
