Linux: An Accelerated Introduction

Product Description

Overview

This fast-paced two-day course provides you with the core competencies of Linux, helping you to rapidly become comfortable working both with graphical tools & at the command line. You'll begin by installing Linux from scratch, then explore graphical tools based on the Gnome desktop environment, including the file manager, office tools & email. You'll also learn to make productive use of the command line, including the shell (command interpreter) & many key utilities. The course does not lean heavily towards any specific linux distribution but focuses on that large core of tools & utilities that are common to all distributions. Lab activities are dual-tracked & may be performed in a Red Hat-style environment (Fedora) or a Debian-style environment (Ubuntu).

You can bring your own laptop along & install Linux on it during class from the CDs we provide if you want. Please let us know if you're thinking of doing this.
