CompTIA Linux+ Basic File Structure

/ Sunday, June 2, 2013 /
I am currently studying to get my Linux+ certification after receiving the MTA Network Fundamentals Certification and the CompTIA Network+ certification. This for me is a bit difficult as I do not spend much time in Linux as my job requires the knowledge of Windows based systems.

To help me remember the general file structure of *nix systems I have created flash cards that I am using to help me study. This in no way is a complete list and I will update this accordingly when I have time and come across new information.

If any information is incorrect or could be phrased differently please let me know and I will update accordingly.
