In the last post we saw how to install Linux as a server as well as in Desktop Mode, now let’s dive in a bit not to the deep depths but to the shallow ones as of now.
In any Linux Distribution files and directories are organized into “Single Rooted Inverted Tree” structure.
File system begins at the root directory represented by a single forward slash “/” character. In Linux the names of directories or files are case sensitive and the paths are delimited by a forward slash “/“.
So “/” is the root directory and act also as a delimiter. Do not get confused.
TREE FORMATION:
If we try to put the Linux filesystem structure in the form of a tree we can arrange it as shown below:
The above diagram shows how the filesystem is a single rooted inverted tree structure where “/” is root and every directory or partition comes under root.
We have already seen the significance of each directory or partition in my earlier post, so I will not be repeating the same in here.
That’s all with the directory structure, next we will see how to navigate within directories and list contents.
