<p>Some commands I practiced:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><strong>uname</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>uptime</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>date</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>who</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>whoami</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>which</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>id</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>sudo</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>useradd</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>mpasswd</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>su</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>userdel</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>cat / etc /passwd</strong></p>
</li>
<li><p><strong>apt</strong></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>🎯 Key Takeaways</h3>
<ul>
<li><p>Learned the purpose of Linux system commands.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Understood how Linux user accounts are managed.</p>
</li>
<li><p>Gained hands-on experience with AWS EC2.</p>
