So..........I've decided to start learning about UNIX. I've some of the basic concepts down, but I'm a little confused about something. If I'm in the home directory and I type "ls -a", it shows everything in that directory, correct? The tutorial I'm learning from is an old online one from back when OS 10.2 was new. It's right here.
What I'm confused about is that when I type "ls -a" I don't see the directory /usr . However, if I type cd /usr, it takes me to that directory?
This is probably a really basic, newbie, stupid question. If so, I'm sorry.
