Overview to an VIM editor

  Vim is a versatile text editor that can be used for a wide range of tasks. Its power and flexibility make it a popular choice among developers, system administrators, writers, and anyone who works extensively with text files. Here are some common uses of Vim: Code Editing: Vim is often used by programmers for editing source code. Its syntax highlighting, code folding, and extensive keyboard shortcuts make it efficient for writing and editing code in various programming languages. Text File Editing: You can use Vim for editing plain text files, configuration files, log files, and more. Its search and replace functionality is particularly useful for making bulk changes in text documents. System Administration: System administrators often use Vim to edit configuration files, scripts, and other system-related text files on Linux and Unix-based systems.

File System Hierarchy and Permissions - Linux

  File System Hierarchy: The Unix-like file system hierarchy is a structured organization of directories and files. It starts from the root directory ("/") and branches out into various subdirectories. Here are some of the most important directories and their purposes: / (Root Directory): The top-level directory in the file system hierarchy. Everything on the system is under this directory. /bin (Binary): Contains essential system binaries (executable files) required for system booting and repair. /boot: Contains boot-related files, including the kernel and bootloader configuration. /dev (Devices): Contains device files representing hardware devices, such as hard drives, keyboards, and serial ports. /etc (Etcetera): Houses system-wide configuration files and scripts. /home: User home directories are stored here. Each user has their own subdirectory here. /lib (Library): Contains shared libraries needed by system programs and applications. /mnt (Mount): Used for tempor...

What is kernal and its types and uses?

A kernel is the central component of an operating system that manages all the resources and communicates with both software applications and hardware devices on a computer. In simple terms, it acts as an intermediary between the user’s requests and the computer's hardware. A kernel provides a variety of services to other parts of the operating system and to applications, including memory and process management, interrupt handling, and system calls. It also acts as a bridge between the hardware and software components, translating requests from the software into actions performed by the hardware.  There are different types of kernels, including monolithic kernels, microkernels, and hybrid kernels.  Monolithic kernels are designed to be large and comprehensive, providing all the basic system functions in a single, unified binary file.  Microkernels, on the other hand, are designed to be small and modular, with each component of the system being implemented as a separate pr...
