What makes this course worth my time?

• Have you found that many training resources use complex technical jargon that makes it difficult to understand the basic concepts? If you need to get a basic understanding of Linux quickly and clearly, this is the course for you. You will learn the basics quickly and easily with no time wasted and no fluff.

Why is the course so short?

• This course is meant to be your perfect starting point with Linux. You're going to learn all the basics and can move on to more complex materials with confidence! We are not going to get into all sorts of stuff that you do not need. Just the essentials to get started.

Will I actually learn how to use Linux in the real world?

• Absolutely! You will learn many useful commands, you'll understand how to navigate the linux terminal, and you'll even install Ubuntu!

This course answers the questions:

• What is Linux, and how is it different from Windows?

• What is the difference between Linux Server and Linux Desktop?

• Why are there so many Linux distributions?

• How do I use the Linux terminal like a pro?

• Installing Ubuntu Linux on your own computer or creating a Linux Server in the AWS Cloud

• How to use key Linux commands, including (but not limited to):

  • man, pwd, cd, id, sudo, ls, mkdir, rmdir, cd, tree, cat, touch, df -h, cp, mv, grep, ping, ifconfig, netstat

I have taught hundreds of thousands of students across a variety of platforms, and I think anyone who needs to understand Linux will love this course. Most lectures in this course are 5 - 10 minutes long. This course gives you an understanding of the most basic commands and knowledge areas of Linux.

If you need the basics of Linux, this course will give you a strong foundation, and is the ideal starting point.
