 ===== Users and Groups ===== ===== Users and Groups =====
  
 +Linux is a multi-user operating system. ​ Different users and groups of users can be assigned permissions to handle certain files or run certain commands. \\ 
 +\\ 
 +//root// is a special user on Linux. root is a super-user account that can see all files and has permissions to run all commands. ​ Normally this account should only be used for administrative tasks.\\ 
 +root is automatically created when a Linux system is installed.\\ 
 +It's best practice to set up secondary user accounts and give those user accounts required permissions to perform their tasks. ​   https://​docs.rackspace.com/​support/​how-to/​linux-server-security-best-practices/​
 ===== File System ===== ===== File System =====
  
 +The Linux file system is organised into files and directories. ​ Directories are basically like folders. \\
 +\\
 +Linux has standard directories for typical uses:
 +
 +  * /bin  - binaries
 +  * /etc  - "​et-see",​ system configuration files (hosts file etc)
 +  * /home  - home directory for users' files
 +  * /root  - special home directory for the root user
 +  * /usr   - "unix system resources",​ user related programs (static data)
 +  * /var   - variable data files, log files, files being written to constantly
