A little introduction of who I am and a little overview of what you will be learning in this course.
Let's download Ubuntu and get it running on our computer!
Explore the linux file system, where everything is a file, and directories like /, /bin, /dev, /lib, and /home organize binaries, devices, and libraries, with mount points replacing drive letters.
Learn how to get help for Linux commands using man pages, dash --help, and online resources like Stack Overflow and Google, ensuring independence.
Learn to use shell variables and aliases to shorten commands in the linux terminal, create environment variables, define aliases, and persist them by editing bashrc and sourcing.
Learn by doing: set up a Linux server or lab stack, experiment with apps, and rely on quick troubleshooting and Google searches to build practical skills fast.
Do you want to get up and running with Linux as fast as possible? That's how I roll! I don't want people to sit around watching boring tutorials for hours and hours, I believe in a fast and easy approach.
Linux is not learned in tutorials, you learn it by doing. So I teach people the basics and get them on their way to start actually using Linux on a daily basis. Fast, short and easy is my motto.
Tutorials who takes hours on end get very deep into the subject, and learning in a video format is easy for most people. But I believe in learning people the basics and teaching then to become independent in their craft. When you are working on Linux machines, the most essential tools will come up 80% of the time, the rest is experience and repetition. In this course I focus on those essentials and I try to get you working with Linux asap!
