- Welcome to the second edition of Linux fundamentals.
This video course was designed
to teach you core Linux basics,
so you can successfully launch your Linux career.
You will get an introduction
to the two major Linux distributions,
Red Hat family and Ubuntu Linux.
The foundations learned in this course
will help you get up and running with Linux.
If you are interested in getting certified,
this course is also a good way to secure
your foundational knowledge.
In this course,
I'll carefully guide you through the essential topics
of the Linux operating system.
To help you master the many commands
that you will learn,
each lesson ends with a command review,
as well as a lab,
that allows you to practice your skills.
In module one, I'll lay out the basics of Linux.
After performing a basic installation of Linux,
I'll make sure to get you going
on the Linux commands line.
I'll then introduce you to some essential tools,
essential file management tools,
and working with DEX files.
Once you've studied these lessons,
you'll have the solid foundation needed
to start working through other topics.
Such as advanced text file processing
and working with the bash shell.
In module two, you'll learn how to apply
user related security.
This module includes lessons about
user and group management
and also about permission management.
After studying the last lesson in this module,
you'll also have a basic understanding
of how to work with storage.
You'll learn how to create file systems
and also how to mount them.
In module three, we'll discuss Linux figures
that you will need to know about to configure Linux
to meet your daily IT needs.
I'll show you how to manage networking.
And next, we'll talk about
a system lead service manager,
and software management.
After that, you'll learn how to manage SSH,
as well as Time,
which are two essential services on Linux.
In the last three lessons,
you'll learn how to manage processes,
desk scheduling and log files.
And with that,
we've covered a sufficient amount of Linux basics,
which should provide a solid foundation
for your next steps
in the Linux operating system.
