+Objective: Understand how files are organized in Unix
+
+> On a UNIX system, everything is a file ; if something is not a file, it is a process.

+
+The followings are files:
+
+- a text file
+- an executable file
+- a folder
+- a keyboard
+- a disk
+- an usb key
+- ...
+
+This mean that your keyboard is represented as a file within the OS.
+
+This file system is organized as a tree. As you have seen every folder has a parent folder exept the `/` folder whose parent is itself.
+
+Every file can be accessed by an **absolute path** starting at the root. Your user home folder can be accessed with the path `/home/etudiant/`. Go to your user home folder.
+
+We can also access file with a **relative path**, using the special folder "**..**". From your home folder, go to the *ubuntu*  user home folder without passing by the root (we will see use of the "**.**" folder later).
