You'll notice other slight differences between the two operating
systems, as well. Here is one of the more common examples:
A pathname shows you where you are, or conveys to the system which
directory you want to go to. Briefly, the difference between stating
the pathname is \ or / when
you're typing in the pathname.
For example, to navigate to a directory from the MS-DOS prompt, you
would type
cd \thisdirectory\thisdirectory |
To move to a directory (using absolute pathnames) in Linux, you would type
cd /thisdirectory/thisdirectory |
