A great video, thank you
This course was designed to provide information on how to use the command line environment in a Unix/Linux system to accomplish tasks such as imaging, data acquisition, and archiving. This course covers the basics of Unix/Linux commands that allow users to view and edit text files, obtain hardware and system information, partitioning and formatting, process related commands, manipulating disks and partitions, imaging, archiving, logical acquisition, live system response, and basic networking.
This would be beneficial for folks who are interested in digital forensics, incidence response, system administration, ethical hacking, or just plain linux. This course covers material for beginners as well as for advanced users. This course would also be helpful if you are considering taking the CompTIA Linux+ certification test.

the way this idiocracy of a program functions does not translate at all into any usability in the real world you just need to fill you brain with an absolute unconventional way of writing a simple text .....no wonder ati and nvidia actively refuse to support linux the level of absurdity i see in linux is unparalleled by anything it`s like a religion of the failed , yet we are forced to use it in embedded systems (not for long)
05:33 insert mode
08:37 copy and paste (yanking and putting)
Amazing!!

@nizzzzzzzmoMan...your videos are awesome 👌. I've been SQL,SQLite ect learning for a few months and decided I'd dive into learning Linux. It's almost overwhelming at first but your videos are very thorough and extremely helpful. Thank you!
@tyjohnston5889thanks a ton, man!
@FallenAngels-m7uGreat job man, thank you a lot.
@samus7839You're teaching vim, not vi and linux doesn't come with vi but elvis that's a vi clone.
@IndronilBanerjeeAwesome video, command mode :set paste will paste from your desktop environment’s clipboard.
For example, copy some text from a web page using a web browser. In vi/m, use set paste in Command mode will allow u to paste what u copied from webpage into Vi/m.
Great content, Thank you for your efforts!
