Thank you for these tutorials. I just started going to school to become a Web Developer, and I'm just learning about Linux. I came upon your series of videos, and I've enjoyed every one of them. I especially like how you showed how the server works in this video! I'm subscribing and look forward to learning more and more from you!!! Thank you so much.

Thank you for another great video! As a Linux world newb, I'm learning a lot from your videos and series. Love the new intro!

Very simple explanation even my low english I can get. Thank you!

You can also use 'sudo !!' if you wish to run the previous command as sudo, in case you forget to do so.

Hi Jay, I am a big fan of you now. Thanks for the lecture

[ahmeddraz]

Thank you, your videos help me alot through admin1.

Isn't sysD vulnerable and slow? Can you address these issues in a video, pls!

[ryanford]

Thanks for the video! Still I wonder if any app that I run on my Linux machine is technically a process that I can manage using the systemctl command. It appears not. And what is the difference between a unit and a process? You use these two terms synonymously throughout the video but I suspect there is a difference, isn't there?

Hey Jay! I’m a real big fan and have followed you from the early days. Great stuff man! I’m jealous of the path you’ve created for yourself in this space! Only a few “big names” on YouTube when it comes to Linux. Anyhow, I’ve noticed through the years you’ve made drastic physical changes from losing weight to gaining weight, having a melancholy “detached” disposition…to being more animated. I noticed a look on your face that seems indicative of a stroke lately…. I don’t mean to be out of line but I’m genuinely curious and wanted to see if your ok? Hope so buddy!

Everything works fine except the command "status". Anytime I use "sudo systemctl status ..." it gives me the info, and freezes the terminal, so I have to close and open it again.
Newbie on Linux, using Ubuntu 22.10.
I'm enjoying the class, anyway, and most important, understanding.

hey! when i use the status command i dont see the DOCS: www....
i think thats wy it wont start apache2 on my web broweser?

[richardburkhardt]

Love the content as well as the Homelab show; still getting caught up on that. I am currently using the latest version of Ubuntu and after I run the status command, at the end it says Lines 1-(whatever)/(whatever) (END). I tap ctrl-c and it clears out. Is this new with what I am running?

[karthiknayak]

Can you make a video on how to setup ftp in linux which can be accessed from outside network?
