=INVESTIGATION 1: CREATING & MANAGING DIRECTORIES=
<span style="color:red;">'''ATTENTION''': The due date for successfully completing this tutorial (i.e. tutorial 2) is by Friday, November 5th by midnight by March 10 @ 11:59 PM (Week 8).</span><br><br>
In this investigation, you will learn how to '''create''', '''navigate''', '''list directory contents''' and '''remove''' directories in your Matrix account.
# Issue the following Linux command to remove all of the directories that you have created:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">rm -r osl640xx osm620xx nwk680xx</span><br><br>
# Issue a Linux command to confirm that the '''osl640xx''', '''osm620xx''' and '''nwk680xx''' that been removed.<br><br>
# Issue the following single Linux command to create the entire directory structure:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">mkdir -p osl640xx/notes osl640xx/tutorials osl640xx/samples osm620xx nwk680xx</span><br><br>'''NOTE:''' The '''-p''' option allows "parent" directories to be automatically created first to then create their subdirectories.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command to confirm that all of the directories have been created:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -ld osl640xx/ osl640xx/notes osl640xx/tutorials osl640xx/samples osm620xx nwk680xx</span>

= LINUX PRACTICE QUESTIONS =
The purpose of this section is to obtain '''extra practice''' to help with '''quizzes''', your '''midterm''', and your '''final exam'''.
Here is a link to the [https://matrix.senecacollege.ca/~osl640/questions/osl640_week2_practice.docx MS Word Document of ALL of the questions] displayed below but with extra room to answer on the document to
simulate a quiz:
Your instructor may take-up these questions during class. It is up to the student to attend classes in order to obtain the answers to the following questions. Your instructor will NOT provide these answers in any other form (eg. e-mail, etc).
'''Review Questions:'''
For each of the following questions, use a pathname starting from the '''root''' directory (i.e. “/”).<br><br>
