Q:Difference b/w /bin and /sbin directory?

/bin

This directory contains executable programs which are needed in single user mode and to bring the system up or repair it.

/sbin

Like /bin, this directory holds commands needed to boot the system, but which are usually not executed by normal users.

/usr/bin

This is the primary directory for executable programs. Most programs executed by normal.

Fundamentals of the Linux file system

Users which are not needed for booting or for repairing the system and which are not installed locally should be placed in this directory.

In Linux We have 3 types of users

Root user /super user /admin
Only one user can exist one Linux machine.
When the root user is created? 
While installing Linux OS root user created.

Normal User
N number of users can have one Linux OS
When normal user will created?

After your Linux OS up and running then root user is going to login and create.

System User

N number of system users can have one Linux OS
When system users are going to create?
When u r installing any software that software is going to create system users.

Note:

We don't mind about system users & we do talk about root and normal users.
