Take the Linux Filesystem Tour
Well, hello! Welcome to the Linux Filesystem Tour. My name is Manuel Page, and I will be your guide today. I and my bus driver, Hal D., are very pleased to have you on board. Just a couple of safety announcements before we start off - please keep your hands inside the bus at all times, and don't delete anything you might see along the way, unless you're sure you know what you're doing. OK, off we go!
We're starting our tour in the root directory, and I suppose you might say this is the, er, high point of the tour, because it's right at the top level of the directory hierarchy. (I don't write the jokes, folks, I just read this script.)
Interestingly, the root directory is the only directory that doesn't have a name. Most people will tell you it's called /, but it isn't really. It's just that when we write down an absolute path name, we start with /, and in the case of the root directory, there's nothing else to write - we're done.
As we set off, on our left you'll notice a directory called /root.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
