Some of the directories you will want to explore are:
State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.
The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.
From doing this project I gained a better understanding of the file system and where files are.
In performing this project, the following resources were referenced:
