Is wonderful video , just adding few more areas that may ask in interview . 1) about sudo (what is the use , how to configure , configuration file location etc.. ) 2.) How does the 'passwd' command gain root user permissions? 3) What is sticky bit and where it is used , how to set etc... 4) If we create an empty folder , it's size will be shown as 4K , why it so? 5) if /var filesystem became full , what will be your approach to solve this ? 6) why cant we set hard link between filesystems ? 7) how can we run a script while booting system itself ? ( before user login )

Hi Edurekha,, is this three videos are the complete Linux training?? My interest is to go towards cloud technologies but what should I do? What is the right path to choose? I’m working as a desktop engineer. Pls suggest

[@edurekaIN]

Hey Prashant, if you are looking to grow your career further in the cloud space then you should definitely enroll for our AWS Certification training program. Here is the link: www.edureka.co/cloudcomputing Hope this helps :)

[@prashanth2098]

edureka! But I’m new to the cloud, I don’t have any basic experience in that. So how can learn directly?

There is no programming knowledge needed and no prior AWS experience required. We tend to teach right from the basics so that all our learners are at the same level, understanding wise. Thanks :)

[@SWGINSPECTOR]

Most people would probably expect you to use "touch" to create files, question 30. Editors obviously won't create the file until you save it and can't as easily be used in a script.
