What
is my address? Finding and Managing Files on Computer Systems
Operating Systems:
Basic software that tell the computer "who" it is. Does all the work for the input, output, storage, and processing components on a computer.
2 Basic Types:
| Microsoft Windows Based: Windows 2000 Windows ME Windows XP Windows Vista |
Unix/Linux/BSD Based: OS X (Apple Computers, based on Free BSD) Linux (Debian, Ubuntu . . .) Unix |
Everything is a file, and files are
everything.
Where do you live? For example, if we wanted to describe where Nebo Elementary is located, we might write it like this:
| United States -> Georgia -> Paulding County -> Dallas -> Nebo Road -> 2843 |
Computer Systems also work with the idea of "location." Files are located in folders on disk drives. Here is a typical Windows address:
| Windows Address for typical home directory: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\ This means: C Disk Drive -> Documents and Settings Folder -> Administrator -> My Documents |
A Unix/Linux/BSD address has a different format. Here is the location where we save our work in MusicTech:
| Unix/OS X/Linux Address: /home/nebomusic/NeboMusicWork/5th Grade/ This means: root directory -> home directory -> nebomusic directory -> NeboMusicWork directory |
Here is Nebo Elementary's address written in Windows and Unix/Linux style:
| Windows style: C:\United States\Georgia\Paulding County\Dallas\Nebo Road\2843 |
| Unix/Linux/BSD style /United States/Georgia/Paulding County/Dallas/Nebo Road/2843 |
| Notice the SLASH: \ = windows slash / = unix/linux/BSD slash |
| Bonus Stuff!!! How about a web address? Does it work the same way? http://www.nebomusic.net/scratch.html (What kind of slashes do web addresses use?) The web Works the same way! "http://" tells the computer to look on the internet. The domain name sever converts "www.nebomusic.net" to an IP address (67. 15.255.4) (Like a computers address on the internet) then the file "scratch.html" on the networked computer. |
| Assignments: Assignment 1: Write your street address in Windows and Unix/Linux style in your "Idea Book." Assignment 2: 1. Go to the following Directory:
2. Find your homeroom teacher's folder and enter the folder. 3. Right click and create a folder with the following format:
We will use this folder to keep all of our assignments and work in MusicTech. Managing your files is the most important skill in using technology. |
