Conqueror is a KDE utility for visualizing and
navigating the file system. The location bar displays the directory whose
contents are being displayed. The main window can be configured to display
information in different ways. Directories and files can be manipulated through
menu options, shortcut icons and context-sensitive menus (i.e. by
right-clicking on an object). File
permission information can be accessed through the properties option (covered
in more detail later).

Understanding paths is important when using the CLI. Absolute pathname: a path that describes the
location of the file from the root directory, e.g. /home/Dilbert/admin/budget.doc.
Relative pathname: a path that described
the location of the file from the current directory, e.g. admin/budget.doc. A user is automatically placed in his home
directory when logging in or opening a new terminal or shell. The command pwd
prints the current working directory. Go to Linux Directory Hierarchy
