Awesome screencast. I wish you were my OS teacher when I was first introduced to UNIX.

Nice work Jay. I've used UNIX for the past six years but didn't know about the inode and how that factors into links, especially across volumes. Thanks for the instruction.

This was great. Some of us CLI nerds forget that there are lots of folks out there who don't even know where to begin when it comes to terminal stuff. Keep 'em coming!

Been delaying understanding these concepts thanks to user friendly interface of Ubuntu. Felt guilty about it... Not anymore :)

Developers often forget there was a time they didn't know their "cp" from their "ls". Unix newbies sometimes find a shortage of sympathetic teachers. No worries! In Part 1 of Unix Basics, we'll show you how to sling files and directories like a pro. We'll also impart knowledge of the file system that could put you a step ahead of even the veterans...
