I've got to say that this is the best channel for learning linux bar none!

[bw_merlin]

Thank you explaining that -c stands for count. Some of us need a little more hand holding than others and small things like explaining what each argument stands for really helps us out.

[Eimantasks]

I have learned about Linux so much here, thank you! And keep them coming!

[zzzz]

Great, even with my local home devices, and several IP cameras the ping command is a great starting point!

Hi Jay, thanks for these very useful videos, I hope to see more videos regarding network management and diagnostics tools, keep it up :-)

[nemonada]

Love this series. Looking forward to more.

Doing Lord's work. This will certainly help the new Linux comers.

Could you continue doing more videos on these internet utilities such as ping, ifconfig, and so on?

[GianumbertoGiurin]

BTW. What kind of terminal font are you using? Thanks.

I don't know if this is something other people care about but I'd like to learn more about how to set up and use a serial console without/before network connection

I have a Ubuntu machine I use to test configs and software that I don't want on my network

Can we ping server after clicking on rebooting? In that case how will we know for how long server was down? Or it is always like that that you have to ping first then click on reboot?

I am missing some info on broadcast mode for PING here.

[udayarpandey]

Hello jay, I hope you are fine and doing great.

[linuxgameplayxp]

Looks like you ended up setting up a firewall to block ICMP because your site can't be pinged anymore.

Why are you wearing a shirt that says "Linwx" ?

[donttrustgoogle]

yup "crash course" is right because that's all Linux does... crash. Usually at install.
