This chapter introduces you to basic concepts which are useful to when getting started with a Kubuntu system.

12.

<filename>/initrd</filename> - used when creating a customized <emphasis>initrd</emphasis> boot process

15.

<filename>/media</filename> - automatically mounted (loaded) partitions on your hard drive and removable <emphasis>media</emphasis> such as CDs, digital cameras, etc.

17.

<filename>/opt</filename> - provides a location for <emphasis>opt</emphasis>ional (3rd party) applications to be installed

20.

<filename>/sbin</filename> - important <emphasis>s</emphasis>ystem <emphasis>bin</emphasis>aries

22.

<filename>/sys</filename> - <emphasis>sys</emphasis>tem files

24.

<filename>/usr</filename> - applications and files that are mostly available for all <emphasis>us</emphasis>e<emphasis>r</emphasis>s to access

45.

To view and edit the permissions on files and directories, open the <menuchoice><guimenu>System Menu</guimenu><guimenuitem>Home Folder</guimenuitem></menuchoice>, right-click on a file or directory, then select <guimenu>Properties</guimenu>. The permissions are found under the <guilabel>Permissions</guilabel> tab and allow for the editing of all permission levels, if you are the owner of the file. Advanced permission settings (such as in the <guilabel>Advanced Permissions</guilabel> tab) are outside of the scope of this guide.

47.

The root user in GNU/Linux is the user which has administrative access to your system. Normal users do not have this access for security reasons. However, Kubuntu does not include the root user. Instead, administrative access is given to individual users, who may use the "sudo" application to perform administrative tasks. The first user account you created on your system during installation will, by default, have access to sudo. You can restrict and enable sudo access to users with the <application>Users and Groups</application> application (see <xref linkend="users-and-groups"/> for more information).

55.

For more information on the <application>sudo</application> program and the absence of a root user in Kubuntu, read the <ulink url="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo">sudo page</ulink> on the Ubuntu wiki.
