Great Video Jay! Learning Linux has been a breeze because of you!

This was a very nice intro to the man pages. If you decide to make a video about inodes I think the viewing public will be grateful.
I also have a very basic/novice question regarding the /etc/passwd file. I learned ( in a linux class last year ) that the regular-user-ID starts at 1000. However, I have been unable to locate this fact in the man pages sections (1) or (5) for passwd. I am wondering where this is located in the documentation?
BTW, I find that T and B are also useful to navigate the man pages, top to bottom respectively. I even use the 'most' program (which you recommended in a video) to enhance readability of the man pages.
Thanx again for the vid.👍

Now that would be sick
