Hello,
I am new to Linux. I have difficulty understanding file system hierarchy in the lesson.
I didnt understand what bob/dave conversation about the USB was about, particularly how /dev and /mount are explained…
I need some more information on what are /dev, /bin, /usr etc are ?
Thanks
The core idea in Linux (and Unix generally) is “everything is a file”. So a lot of different types of things sit in different parts of the Linux file system. /dev contains “device files”, which you won’t need to worry about in this course. /bin are basic commands, since commands are stored as files. Links to mount things into the file system can go in /mounts.
For now, just accept that this is how Linux organizes things. To the extent that you need to deal with a new file type, the course will cover it as you encounter them.
