I feel that this course is good for a student like me, a beginner student of Linux and the CLI. I am also studying the book "The Linux Command Line", and I feel that this course is a good accompaniment to this book. This course does a better job of explaining permissions, file ownership (the sticky bit), users and groups, than my book does. Also, the background info on open source and licensing is useful and interesting. Much thanks for this great course.

I have been working professionally with Linux since 1999 much of that time as an Instructor. I now run my own consultancy where I work with and write about Linux. I am onto my 5th book with Packt and have 65,000 subscribers on my youtube channel: theurbanpenguin. You can be assured that I do know Linux and I am passionate to share with you.
