Linux Users

If we had a full linux system we would have users, and home directories for the users. We would use the system as one of these users and use either su to switch to the root user or better yet sudo to run one-off commands as the root user.

  • users (root and other users)
  • /home directory
  • su
  • sudo
ls /root
ls /home/
