Instructions:

· Failure to follow the following instructions and those in the attachment will lead to a loss of points

· You are going to do this lab twice, once with Linux command line, and once with the MS Windows command line.

· Read the instructions in the word document very carefully. When the work is done, submit both zip files together at the same time.

· Leverage Google and Youtube to accomplish your tasks. You may find wonderful Youtube videos on how to take screenshots both in Windows and Linux. If you are using a Linux OS on a virtual machine with a Windows host, you may take the Linux screenshots from the host machine. Make sure you document all your steps in accomplishing the tasks.

· Do not cheat by creating the folders and files using a GUI. You will lose many points if I do not see the screenshots that create the files and folders.

In this exercise, you are going to use Windows and Linux command line interface on to create directories and files and organize them according to the following instructions. In a new folder which you will create, you are going to create a directory structure as shown below. The names in  bold letters are folder names. The names with  bold, italic and underline  mean they are the top-level folders, the names with  bold and italic  mean they are sub-folders, the names just in  bold means they are sub-sub-folders and the remaining names are files made by application programs. Replace the all “xx” in each name with your initials in capital.
