Linux Fundamentals & Administration

 

Course Overview

Many people still believe that learning Linux is difficult, or that only experts can understand how a Linux system works. Though there is a lot of free documentation available, the documentation is widely scattered on the Web, and often confusing, since it is usually oriented toward experienced UNIX or Linux users. Today, thanks to the advancements in development, Linux has grown in popularity both at home and at work. The goal of this 3-days training course is to show participants of all ages that Linux can be simple and fun, and used for all kinds of purposes. This is a fairly intensive course with practical hands-on training for participants relatively new to configuring Linux system.
