February 23, 201412 yr Fun explanation of the unix file system. Worth a read, even for experienced users I have an uncle who's the system administrator of a Solaris system, and he's always complaining that he doesn't have a private home directory. His home directory is /, and he hates it. How would you like to have to hang your washing out to dry in the town square? Can we take a look in /root, Hal? Oh, apparently not - Colonel Linux says no. Well, there's no harm in asking, but /root is one of the few directories for which ordinary users don't have read permission. http://tuxradar.com/content/take-linux-filesystem-tour/
