8 years ago Small issues: Lesson 2, flavors of linux, Debian mis-spelled 'Deian' Lesson 2, GNU/Linux - text wraps badly below the Tux image Lesson 3, navigation concepts - the / in the item titles look strange: Flags / -v / --version is awkward, maybe "Flags (-v, --version)" instead? Lesson 3: special characters: similar issue as above with the / - but now the character is first instead of the name, which is inconsistent Lesson 4: what users can do - change "$ sudo su - # use user password instead of root's" to $ sudo su - # use your password instead of root's Gneeral note: I don't see where we've explained that # means a comment, but we use it a lot in exambles and code blocks. Also, sometimes it's // in examples without explanation Lesson 5: everything is a file, typo: "Well let’s say you’re programming an iterface" Lesson 5: do we ever explain what 'execute' permission is? read/write are more obvious, but execute maybe not, especially if we talk about permissions on directories Lesson 5: we don't really talk about directories or permissions on them Lesson 6: Popular Linux package managers: again the / in the item names are hard to parse
That's it from a brief scan. Overall, looking great.

So we just merged the Overhaul 2016 PR. This PR will be where we make last minute tweaks to that update. I kicked it off by adding live links for the content and slides. Comment and make any changes you think need to be done before this Saturday. We will be going through lesson 7 that day.
