This video is for absolute beginners. I will show you how to navigate your system in Linux/Unix. For this video we are using Linux Ubuntu 16.04.

I found a 38 video series on Linux Command Line and I thought Brad must have a concise and to the point tutorial ... and ... here it is. Awesome!

THANK YOU so much.

Wow, just starting to learn Linux CLI while on furlough and taking a free class through our public library online. The instructor barely digs into Linux CLI and spends most the sessions on Windows CLI, this was leaving me frustrated. The first YouTube video that popped up in my search is this one and what a Gem! Thank you!!!

Thanks Brad I’m new to Linux and this really helped me grasp the basics.

I watched your html/css series, looked for a linux command line video, clicked on this one without knowing and BOOM. Traversy Media. Dope. Haha thanks for the great content!

[houseofoddity]

This was so well laid out and perfect for any newcomer to the Linux distributions. Very informative and a great stepping stone if you want a no BS, straight to the point tutorial. Great video and I have subscribed. Clearly a well-educated gentleman with perfect delivery of this content. I cannot bitch about anything!! A+ and I look forward to future video's

Dude I just came across your video it is so helpful... I just put Kelly legs on my laptop a half an hour ago this has been so helpful

[Leonid_P]

Thanks Brad! We need a new crash course - Linux Crash Course :) Please, more about Linux, Vim, VM, SSH on Linux and etc.

Great video my doode. Currently taking Linux 1 through Netcad and now I feel confident to work ahead

[diggerfdf]

Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work! I guess I work in a similar way. I got a Macbook Pro and It's very annoying to program on it. Linux is far better! So I use all the "normal and mundane" stuff like logic and final cut pro. Everything else goes to my VM with xubuntu.

Your videos are helping me to accelerate the process to use ONLY Linux for all. I'm a Brazilian dude. And I can be held back hostage because of apple hardware prices.

Brad, just getting into AWS Solutions Architect - your tutorial on Linux basic commands is very helpful.

5:07 The d stands for directory and not delete. If you can write to a file you can delete it.
