Although a number of graphical user interfaces are available for network configuration, use of software that shields the user from the technical workings of their system can sometimes be counterproductive. With that premise in mind, all configuration in this document is performed by editing system files or using command line programs. 2.

By Ramesh Natarajan on September 8, 2010 Have you wondered why certain programs are located under /bin, or /sbin, or /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin?
