Thank you so much for your explaining steps by linux file manager!
For me its good to repeat the lesson, because a long time ago I absolved a Liux crash course. The instuctrion were pretty quick and so the most people could'nt understand whats told about the very special file manager and file systems! I remember how difficult it was to install after a good luck your patition master was working in your own sense! To open a KDE or X.. desktop seemed like a little wonder. This was in 1998 and I remember The attempt WINDOWS 1998 to submit in the Internet. A famous man was blamed on TV while trying to connect with the Internet! Nobody in our Linux course was convinced to get the big chance and opportunities from Linux compared with other use Software Systems.Excuse my bad English!

I am quite new to Linux and found this video very useful. I found the file system structure a bit confusing, especially the /usr directory with /bin /sbin etc. Overall a good informational video that was easy to understand.

Saw the video. Very Good. Should be an entire ubunto book of videos. All of this documentation and links of this page should be consolidated and made downloadable in PDF form. Ubunto needs more optional books. There needs to be recommendations of good software like a backup program that has the features of DantZ/EMC Retrospect.
