    hi Eli,

    just one thing to ask you. is this video and other videos of Linux made by you are related to any specific distro of Linux. i .e whether it is related with Ubuntu or SUSE Linux or any other flavor of Linux .

    Because what i know about Red Hat Linux is no command starts with sudo. if i am wrong please correct me. Because i am working in a Environment where Red Hat Linux servers are used.

    and i have never find any command that starts with sudo. as Used in your ‘Linux Network Configuration’ video . maybe with sudo you are taking the root user permission.

    What i know is first we login through root in server through remote desktop connection. and then we execute the command.

    and last thing why i ask this question is that you always create any video to give overall , general idea about that concept. e. g – in your video ‘ Introduction to Servers ‘ you said you learnt all about windows server.

    that’s why i ask you why you create this series of Linux videos with a specific distro.

    maybe you understand my concern. please reply.

    Hey pra007,

    sudo means Super User DO, so there’s no need for u to use it in the commands u type cause u already logged in as root. So u have all the permissions to execute whatever u want.
    Eli did these videos logged in as eli, so in order to execute any command, he needs to type sudo.
    hope this answers ur question!
