What you'll learn

This path on Linux fundamentals is ideal for the beginner. We will discuss how to install Linux. From there, we will look under the hood to learn about Linux architecture as well as the file system. Next, we will explore the fundamentals: account management, networking, jobs and processes. Finally, we dive into light scripting to automate repeatable tasks. Linux adoption continues to rise world-wide as individual users, government entities and industries ranging from automotive to space exploration embrace open source technologies.
