Hi austing5,

maybe visualizing the structure of the directories may clarify the concept:

Code:
/                         <-- this is the 'root' directory of linux/unix filesystem
|
+-- home              <-- this is child to '/' and parent to '/home/unix'
    |
    +-- unix          <-- this is child to '/home' and parent to '/home/unix/jones'
        |
        +-- jones

This User Gave Thanks to frappa For This Post:
