Explanation-

The /etc directory contains the configuration files for the system. All of the files in /etc should be text files. Points of interest:
/etc/passwd
The passwd file contains the essential information for each user. It is here that users are defined.
/etc/fstab
The fstab file contains a table of devices that get mounted when your system boots. This file defines your disk drives.
/etc/hosts
This file lists the network host names and IP addresses that are intrinsically known to the system.
/etc/init.d
This directory contains the scripts that start various system services typically at boot time.
