2. What is Linux File System?
   Linux File System or any file system generally is a layer that is under the operating system that handles the positioning of your data on the storage; without it, the system cannot knows which file starts from where and ends where. I like this article because it’s simple explanation.

4. FUSE: File Systems in User Space
   File systems are notoriously difficult to implement: of all the pieces that appear in an operating system, they have the highest quality bar and are often called upon more than almost any other part of the operating system; virtual memory management may be called upon more. After reading this I got better understanding about FUSE.

5. What is the difference between printf, sprintf and fprintf?
   printf function is used to print character stream of data on stdout console. String print function instead of printing on console store it on char buffer which are specified in sprintf. fprintf is used to print the string content in file but not on stdout console. After compile-run W02 demos, I became curious about printf-sprintf-fprintf, Luckily this article gives me answer.

6. What Are TAR, GZ, and BZ2?
   TAR is short for Tape Archive. It’s a common file format to use in the Unix/Linux world when you need to package source codes. A TAR file is just that, an archive. There’s no compression involved at all. You can think of a TAR file (or a tarball as some prefer to call it) as multiple files taped together. I put this here because I’ve never heard of these file format names (before this week :p).

7. Chmod Command in Linux (File Permissions)
   In Linux, access to the files is managed through the file permissions, attributes, and ownership. This ensures that only authorized users and processes can access files and directories. This tutorial covers how to use the chmod command to change the access permissions of files and directories. An essential part of this week demos is to learn about chmod command.

8. What is a TAR file?
   The article explains what TAR files are and how they’re different from other archive formats, which programs can extract files from them, and how to convert one to similar archive formats. First heard of TAR file in this week tutorial, and I want to know more about it.

9. VirtualBox File Locations
   File locations for VirtualBox software and virtual machines can be confusing. The following is a summary of important file locations on a Windows 10 host computer. This web answers one of my firsts question about VirtualBox: “Where is the real location of VirtualBox data in my computer?”.

10. SSD vs HDD
    First time using SSD when I have to upgrade my old laptop. Since then I’ve known the advantages of SSD to HDD, but does it only advantages that SSD have ? This site gives answer to the question, with explaining almost every aspect between SSD & HDD.
