LFAD211 - LINUX FUNDAMENTALS
AND ADMINISTRATION
Linux Suse Enterprise Server

History of Linux
• Linux began in 1991 as a personal project by Finnish student Linus
Torvalds: to create a new free operating system kernel.
• resulting Linux kernel has been marked by constant growth
throughout its history.
• initial release of its source code in 1991, it has grown from a small
number of C files under a license prohibiting commercial distribution
to the 4.15 version in 2018 with more than 23.3 million lines of source
code, not counting comments, under the GNU General Public
License v2.

History of Linux
• Linus Benedict Torvalds
• Finland Swedish
• born 28 December 1969
• is a Finnish-American software engineer who is the creator and,
historically, the principal developer of the Linux kernel, which is the
kernel for Linux operating systems (distributions) and other operating
systems such as Android and Chrome OS.

SUSE Linux Enterprise
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, a secure, open source server
operating system designed to tackle mission-critical workloads.
• designed for servers, mainframes, and workstations
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server administration concepts.
• set up a server to use Secure Boot, manage users and groups, and
administer the most common network services.
• covers various file systems, and using logical volume management to
optimize your storage.

SUSE Linux
• is a computer operating system developed by SUSE. It is built on top
of the free and open source Linux kernel and is distributed with
system and application software from other open source projects.
• is of German origin, an acronym of “Software und System-
Entwicklung” (software and systems development), and was mainly
developed in Europe.
• first version appeared in early 1994, making SUSE one of the oldest
existing commercial distributions. It is known for its YaST
configuration tool.

SUSE Linux
• Novell bought the SUSE (then "SuSE") brands and trademarks in
2003
• founded on 2 September 1992 in Nuremberg, Germany, by Roland
Dyroff, Thomas Fehr, Burchard Steinbild, and Hubert Mantel.
• mathematics students at a university

SUSE Linux Logo
• The official logo and current mascot of the distribution is a veiled
chameleon officially named, "GEEKO" (portmanteau of "Gecko" and
"geek"), following a competition. As with the company's name, the
"GEEKO" logo brand has evolved over time to reflect the name
changes.
• SUSE – A Malaysian term a type of lizard

openSUSE Project
• On 4 August 2005, Novell announced that the SUSE Professional
series would become more open, with the launch of the openSUSE
Project community.
• software always had been open source, but openSUSE opened the
development process, allowing developers and users to test and
develop it. Previously, all development work had been accomplished
in-house by SUSE.
• Version 10.0 was the first version that offered public beta testing.

Microsoft agreement
• On 3 November 2006 (renewed 25 July 2011), Novell signed an
agreement with Microsoft covering improvement of SUSE's ability to
interoperate with Microsoft Windows, cross-promotion/marketing of
both products and patent cross-licensing.
• Agreement is considered controversial by some in the Free Software
community.
• Free software or libre software is computer software distributed
under terms that allow users to run the software for any purpose as
well as to study, change, and distribute it and any adapted versions.
• Example: VLC Player, Firefox Web, Xfce desktop environment, GIMP image editor, Vim text
editor

• press the windows key on your keyboard. Type “Terminal” in the
popup search box
• click the icon with a “Terminal” title. OK
• To list directory contents, type ls in the terminal.

The Terminal
• ls /home - show all contents stored in your /home directory.
• -l: - display a long list with additional useful information like
permissions, file size and last modification time.
• -a - will show hidden files or sub directories
• pwd command stands for “print working directory and will show the
name of current working directory – means “where you are” right now
• cd command, stands for “change directory”, can change your current
working directory.

The Terminal
• rm is used for deleting files or directories.
• clear command will clear the terminal screen.
• mv command will move your files or directories to somewhere else.
• command <i>mkdir<i> means “make directory” and allows for the
creation of new directories.
• cp is a command used to copy files or directories.
• su command can help to switch to superuser.
• command poweroff shuts down the running system, while the
command reboot cares for a reset of your system.

Man Pages
• an essential part of any Linux system
• Man pages can be accessed with man followed by the name of the
command.
• displayed directly in the shell.
• MAN PAGES—CATEGORIES AND DESCRIPTIONS

Example: man man
will list how to use the command man.

Man page has of several parts
• NAME - name of the command or function, followed by a one-line
description of what it does.
• SYNOPSIS - a command, a formal description of how to run it and
what command line options it takes.
• DESCRIPTION - A textual description of the functioning of the
command or function.
• EXAMPLES - Some examples of common usage.
• SEE ALSO - A list of related commands or functions.

To navigate
• move up and down with Page ↑ and Page ↓.
• Move between the beginning and the end of a document with
[Home] and [End].
• End this viewing mode by pressing Q.
• P (previous page)
• N (next page)

man command in Linux with Examples
• No Option: It displays the whole manual of the command.
• Syntax :
• $ man [COMMAND NAME]
• Example:
• $ man printf
• Output:

• Section-num: a manual is divided into multiple sections so this option
is used to display only a specific section of a manual.
• Syntax :
• $ man [SECTION-NUM] [COMMAND NAME]
• Example:
• $ man 2 intro

• -f option: One may not be able to remember the sections in which a
command is present.
• Syntax:
• $ man -f [COMMAND NAME]
• Example:
• $ man -f ls

• -a option: This option helps us to display all the available intro
manual pages in succession.
• Syntax:
• $ man -a [COMMAND NAME]
• Example:
• $ man -a intro

• -k option: This option searches the given command as a regular
expression in all the manuals and it returns the manual pages with
the section number in which it is found.
• Syntax:
• $ man -k [COMMAND NAME]
• Example:
• $ man -k cd


-w option: This option returns the location in which the manual page of a
given command is present.
Syntax:
$ man -w [COMMAND NAME]
Example:
• $ man -w ls

-I option: It considers the command as case sensitive.
Syntax:
$ man -I [COMMAND NAME]
Example:
• $ man -I printf

\

• command ‘printf‘ is taken as case-sensitive i.e ‘printf‘ returns the
manual pages but ‘Printf‘ gives error.

Info Pages
• more detailed than man pages.
• divided into different nodes.
• pages that can be read with an info reader, which works much like a
web browser.
• To view the info page for a certain command, enter info followed by
the name of the command, for example, info ls.
– Use Space to move forward and <— to move backward. Within a node, you
can also browse with Page ↑ and Page ↓ but only Space and <— will take you
also to the previous or subsequent node. Press Q to end the viewing mode.
Not every command comes with an info page and vice versa.
– default location of info documentation is /usr/share/info.
– Syntax: info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]

Info Pages
• -a, –all: It use all matching manuals.
• -k, –apropos=STRING: It look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.
• -d, –directory=DIR: It add DIR to INFOPATH.

AND ADMINISTRATION

Files and Directories
• Linux files are organized in a logical fashion for ease of
administration.
• This logical division of files is maintained in hundreds of directories

that are located in larger containers called file system.
• RED HAT LINUX follows the FILE SYSTEM Hierarchy

standard(FHS) for file organization.

File System
• Disk Based:
– DISK-based file systems are created on physical media such as
a hard disk.
• Memory- Based:
– Memory- based file systems, also called virtual file system, are
created at system boot up and destroyed at shut down.

Files System Tree
• The Linux file system structure is like an inverted tree with the root of
the tree at the top and branches and leaves at bottom.
• The top level is referred to as root and represented by forward

slash(/) character.
• Two file systems -/ and /boot- are created, by default, when RHEL is
installed.
• The custom installation procedure provided later in this, also creates
/var, /usr,/tmp,/opt and /home file systems in addition to / and /boot.

File System Tree
• These directories hold Static and Dynamic(or variable) information.
– The Static refers to file contents that are not usually modified.
– Static dir normally contain cmds, lib routines, kernel files, devices files, etc.
– The Dynamic or variable data refers to file contents that are modified as
required.
– DD hold log files, status files, configuration files, temporary files, etc.
• RHEL provides a graphical file manager called nautilus that can be
used to view and navigate within the directory structure.

Linux Directory Hierarchy

• The Binary directory (/bin):
– The binary directory contains crucial user executable commands.
– This directory holds static data files.
• The library directory (/lib):
– The library directory contains shared library files required by programs.
– It contains sub-directories that hold static data files.
• The System Binary Directory (/sbin):
– Most commands required at system up are located in the system binary
directory.
– In addition, most cmds requiring root privileges to run are also located here.
– The /sbin dir holds static data files.

• The etcetera directory(/etc):
– The etcetera directory holds most configuration files.
– The /etc dir contains dynamic data files.
• The lost+ found dir(/lost+found):
– This directory is used to hold files that become orphan after system crash.
– An orphan file is a file that has lost its name and it holds dynamic data.
• /root:
– This is default home directory location for the root user.
• /srv:
– This dir holds server data associated with database, website, etc.

• /boot:
– It contains linux kernels, boot loader and boot configuration files in addition to
other files required to boot RHEL.
– The /boot file system contains static data files.
• /var:
– /var contains data that frequently change while the system is up and running.
• UNIX system Resoucres file system(/usr):
– Disk based, this file system contains general files related to the system.

ext2
• The ext2 or second extended filesystem is a file system for the
Linux kernel.
• It was initially designed by Rémy Card as a replacement for the

extended file system (ext).
• ext2 was the default filesystem in several Linux distributions.
• ext2 is still the filesystem of choice for flash-based storage media
(such as SD cards, and USB flash drives), since its lack of a journal
minimizes the number of writes.

ext3
• ext3, or third extended filesystem, is a journaled file system that is
commonly used by the Linux kernel.
• It is the default file system for many popular Linux distributions.

• Its main advantage over ext2 is journaling, which improves reliability
and eliminates the need to check the file system after an unclean
shutdown.
• Its successor is ext4.

Journaling
• A journaling is a file system that keeps track of the changes that will
be made in a journal (usually a circular log in a dedicated area of the
file system) before committing them to the main file system.
• In the event of a system crash or power failure, such file systems are
quicker to bring back online (stable state)and less likely to become
corrupted.
• Journaling provides for fast and effective recovery in case of disk
crashes, instead of using e2fsck or fsck.

ReiserFS
• The Reiser file system is a journaling FS designed for fast server
performance, especially in directories containing thousands of files.
• It is more space efficient than most other file system, because it

does not take up a minimum of one block per file.
• If we want to write a bunch of really small files to disk, ReiserFS
squeezes them all into one block instead of writing one small file to
one block file.

AND ADMINISTRATION

• manage the files on your system and using a shell prompt
• details of using a shell prompt
• method of management

File System Terms
• extension
– An extension is that part of a filename that is found after the final ".". In the
filename foo.txt ".txt" is the le's extension. Extensions are used to indicate le
type.
• path
– A path is the string of directories and sub-directories you would have to
navigate through in order to reach a given location in the le system.

File System Terms
• root access
– To have root access means to be logged in using the root account. This can be
done from the main login screen, a shell prompt, or any application that
requires your root password. Root access means that the user has permission
to do anything on the system, so use root access with care.
• root directory
– The root directory is the top-most directory of the le system. All other les and
directories exist in this directory or one of its sub-directories. Do not confuse
the root directory, /, with root's home directory, /root/.

Larger Picture of the File System
• Every operating system has a method of storing data in files and
directories so that it can keep track
• of additions, modifications, and other changes. In Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, every file is stored in
• a directory. Directories can also contain directories: these
subdirectories may also contain files and
• other subdirectories. You might think of the le system as a tree and
• directories as branches.
• away the directories branch, everything is connected to the root
directory, which is represented as a
• singe forward slash (/).

Paths
/home/user/

Managing Files-File Types

– Compressed and Archived Files
– .bz2. a file compressed with bzip2
– .gz. a file compressed with gzip
– . .tar. a file archived with tar (short for tape archive), also known as a tar file
– . .tbz or .tar.bz. a tarred and bzipped le
– . .tgz or .tar.gz. a tarred and gzipped le
– . .zip.a le compressed with ZIP compression, commonly found in MS-DOS
applications; most compressed les for Linux use the gzip compression, so
nding a .zip archive for Linux les is rare

Managing Files-File Formats
• .au. an audio le
• .gif. a GIF image le (short for Graphics Interchange Format)
• .html or .htm. an HTML le (short for Hyper Text Markup Language)
• .jpg. a JPEG image le (short for Joint Photographic Experts Group)
• .pdf. an electronic image of a document; PDF stands for Portable Document Format
• .png. a PNG image le (short for Portable Network Graphic)
• .ps. a PostScript file; formatted for printing
• .txt. a plain ASCII text file
• .wav. an audio le
• .xpm. an image le (short for X Pixelmap)

• Programming and Scripting Files
– .c . a C program language source code le
– .cpp . a C++ program language source
– code le
– .h . a C or C++ program language header le
– .o . a program object le

Managing Files-Dot Files
• Files whose name begins with a ".", called "dot" files, are hidden
files. These files can be viewed in both graphical file managers like
Nautilus and from the shell prompt, but require an extra step to
reveal them. command ls –al used for view the hidden files in your
home directory,
– How to make hidden file or folder?

– Touch .extension Mkdir .extension

Using Spaces in File Names
• While Linux allows file names with spaces in them, manipulating
these files from a shell prompt can be quite cumbersome.

Using Symbols in File Names
• It is possible to use punctuation marks in your file names. However,

be aware that these special characters have special meaning to the
shell and may cause errors at a shell prompt. It is generally
recommended that you avoid using special characters in file names
for this reason. If you choose to use file names with special
characters, use quotes around the file names when manipulating
them from a shell prompt.
• You cannot use a "/" — this indicates a directory.

File Compression and Archiving
• It is useful to store a group of files in one file for easy backup, for transfer to
another directory, or for transfer to another computer. It is also useful to compress
large files; compressed files take up less disk space and download faster via the
Internet.
• It is important to understand the distinction between an archive file and a
compressed file. An archive file is a collection of files and directories stored in one
file. The archive file is not compressed — it uses the same amount of disk space
as all the individual files and directories combined. A compressed file is a collection
of files and directories that are stored in one file and stored in a way that uses less
disk space than all the individual files and directories combined. If disk space is a
concern, compress rarely-used files, or place all such files in a single archive file
and compress it.
