    I salute you. Two things, its different when you know something and you are able to pass the same knowledge to others. your teaching is exceptional. My instructors in school makes it much more complicated and hard. But watching your video Eli has made life much easier for me . thank you once again.

    Eli, this video is very helpful. I have been promoted to backend administrator on a Minecraft multiplayer server about a year ago. That server runs Linux. Before I was promoted, I had never used Linux before. Since then, I have found this video, and have checked it several times again during the year.
    Thank you for making this video!

    I found the explanation by Douglas Rumbough very simple. linux permissions are in sets of 3, USER|GROUP|EVERYONE so to give a test.txt permissions you just remember the following:
    R =4
    w=2
    x =1
    NONE = 0
    you want USER(owner) to have all permissions 4+2+1 = 7
    you want GROUP to have read+write 4+2 = 6
    you want EVERYONE ele to have no permissions 0+0+0 = 0
    so your permissions for the test.txt would be 760

    From ELi's lessons learnt from 2010: don't buy a huge whiteboard size 2 meter on 4 meter on which you write everything 30 cms from right side, OR, buy a longer power cord for your camera
