Great video as always, Jay. "Do one thing and do it well, " and you have done it again with explaining the cut command. Thank you.

Jay you learned me some new stuff! I have used the cut command many times, but always for fields, I didn't know that character and byte were options.

You should make a video on the lsof command, I noticed it wasn’t listed in your book either.

I know the cut command, just wish to see something new that I didn't know, like I would have love to see how you will use the command for just one line on /etc/passwd
🙂

Hi Jay! I've been a subscriber to your channel for a while now, and I know you've mentioned CEPH a few times in the past. I was wondering if you have plans to do a training video on CEPH in the future? I just attended an amazing CEPH presentation, and it has ignited my interest in the technology. I'm now super excited about it. Your video series has been incredibly helpful for me in learning, and I would love to add CEPH to my HA Proxmox cluster that you helped me to build by the way. Please let us know when you have time. I absolutely love your channel, and you are a phenomenal teacher. Keep up the fantastic work!

Greattings . I used "cut -d " " -f 9, 2 message.txt" and the prompt output was "Linux Wow!" instead of "Wow! Linux". How I can chance the order of output?

Please can somebody explain why Linux still uses Microsoft DOS type commands. Is it still necessary to know these command line when there are graphical user interfaces?
