Linux is an open-source operating system kernel that serves as the
foundation for various Linux-based operating systems (distributions).
Linux is known for its stability, security, and flexibility. It is based on
the Unix operating system and follows the Unix philosophy of small,
modular, and reusable components. Linux is highly customizable and
can be tailored to suit various needs, ranging from desktop computers
and servers to embedded systems and supercomputers.
Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, CentOS, and
many others, take the Linux kernel and combine it with additional
software packages, utilities, and graphical interfaces to create
complete operating systems that are ready to be used by end-users.
Linux offers a command-line interface (CLI) that allows users to
interact with the system through text commands, as well as graphical
user interfaces (GUIs) that provide a more user-friendly experience. It
supports a wide range of applications, software development tools,
and server services, making it suitable for various purposes, including
general computing, web servers, cloud infrastructure, networking, and
more.
Linux Folder Structure
The folder structure in Ubuntu Linux follows the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard (FHS), which is a standard for organizing the files
and directories on a Unix-like operating system. Here is an overview
of the main directories you will typically find in Ubuntu:
• /bin: Contains essential command-line executable files
(binaries) that are available to all users.
• /boot: Contains files related to the boot process, including the
Linux kernel, initial ramdisk (initrd), and bootloader
configuration.
• /dev: Contains device files that represent and allow access to
various hardware devices on the system.
• /etc: Contains system-wide configuration files for various
applications and services.
• /home: The home directories for individual users. Each user
typically has a subdirectory here to store their personal files and
settings.
• /lib and /lib64: These directories contain shared libraries needed
by the system and applications. The "lib64" directory is present
on 64-bit systems.
• /media: Mount point for removable media devices such as USB
drives or optical discs.
• /mnt: A general-purpose mount point for temporarily mounting
filesystems.
• /opt: Contains optional software packages installed on the
system. Applications installed here are often self-contained in
their own directories.
• /proc: A virtual filesystem that provides information about
processes and system status. It is used by many system utilities
to obtain runtime information.
• /root: The home directory for the root user, the administrative
superuser.
• /run: A temporary filesystem that contains runtime data for
various system services. It is cleared on each reboot.
• /sbin: Contains system binaries (executable files) that are
primarily used by the root user for system administration tasks.
• /srv: Contains data for services provided by the system.
• /sys: A virtual filesystem that exposes kernel-related information
and configuration.
• /tmp: A directory for temporary files created by applications and
users. Its contents are typically cleared on each reboot.
• /usr: Contains user-related programs, libraries, documentation,
and shared resources. It has subdirectories such as /usr/bin for
user binaries, /usr/lib for libraries, and /usr/share for shared data.
• /var: Contains variable data that changes during the system's
operation, such as logs, databases, and spool files.
This is a high-level overview of the Ubuntu Linux folder structure.
Each directory serves a specific purpose in organizing the system's
files and resources.

These commands cover a wide range of networking tasks and can be
helpful for managing and troubleshooting network connections in
Linux.
These commands provide essential functionality for network
configuration, troubleshooting, and analysis in Linux. You can refer to
the respective man pages or online documentation for each command
to learn more about their options and usage.
In Linux, you can change permissions and ownership of files and
directories using the chmod, chown, and chgrp commands. Here's
how you can use these commands:
Changing Permissions
chmod
The chmod command is used to change permissions of files and
directories. It supports two modes of operation: symbolic mode and
octal mode.
1. Symbolic Mode:
o Syntax: chmod [options] [permissions] file(s)
o Examples:
▪ Grant read and write permissions to the
owner: chmod u+rw file.txt
▪ Revoke execute permission from the group: chmod
g-x script.sh
▪ Add read and execute permissions to others: chmod
o+rx program
▪ Combined permissions: chmod u=rw,go=r file.txt
2. Octal Mode:
o Syntax: chmod [options] [mode] file(s)
o Examples:
▪ Set read, write, and execute permissions for owner,
group, and others: chmod 755 script.sh
▪ Restrict permissions to the owner only: chmod 700
private.txt
▪ Grant full permissions to everyone: chmod 777
public_dir
Changing Ownership
chown
The chown command is used to change the ownership of files and
directories.
• Syntax: chown [options] owner:group file(s)
• Examples:
o Change the owner and group of a file: chown john:users
file.txt
o Recursively change ownership for a directory and its
contents: chown -R alice:staff project_dir
chgrp
The chgrp command is used to change the group ownership of files
and directories.
• Syntax: chgrp [options] group file(s)
• Examples:
o Change the group of a file: chgrp developers script.sh
o Recursively change group ownership for a directory and
its contents: chgrp -R team project_dir
In Linux, you can change permissions using the chmod command.
The permissions determine who can read, write, or execute a file.
Here's how you can use chmod to change permissions:
Syntax:
chmod [options] permissions file(s)
Options:
• -R or --recursive: Change permissions recursively for directories
and their contents.
Permissions:
• u (user/owner): The owner of the file.
• g (group): The group associated with the file.
• o (others): Users who are neither the owner nor part of the
group.
• a (all/everyone): All users, including the owner, group, and
others.
Each permission has three possible settings:
• r (read): Permission to read the file or view directory contents.
• w (write): Permission to modify or delete the file or add/remove
files in a directory.
• x (execute): Permission to execute a file or access a directory.
Examples:
1. Grant read and write permissions to the owner:
chmod u+rw file.txt
2. Revoke execute permission from the group:
chmod g-x script.sh
3. Add read and execute permissions to others:
chmod o+rx program
4. Set read and write permissions for the owner, and read-only
permissions for the group and others:
chmod u=rw,g=r,o=r file.txt
5. Change permissions recursively for a directory and its contents:
chmod -R u+w project/
