Command-Line Basics In Linux
This is one of the most important features in any Linux machines. If your an admin you basically do anything with it. The Linux system already has a bunch of commands and new ones are added by programmers and coders often. You will learn a common element in the Linux Command Line. You will also learn the basic structure of the commands.
Command Structure
The first line will always contain the machine/computers name. The next will be the directory that the user is currently in. And the last thing in the structure is a mark that indicates your user type root or normal.
So if your machine is called UPP and the directory your in is home, your a root user. This is what you would see UPP:~ #
When you see a # it means the user is a root, it can do anything. If you see anything else than a “#“, it is a normal user. The command-line is where the normal user has limited options. A basic thing a normal user cannot do is, format hard disks. But you can mount a USB, it all depends but you can become Root if you want anyway.
