Requirements
Have passion to learn and improve
You should be able to perform basic commands in Linux. This course is not for absolute beginners. However, you only need to have a basic understanding of what Linux is and to be able to open a terminal and use simple commands as changing the directory and listing files.
Have at least one Linux virtual machine (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, RHEL ..)
Description
This course was designed to share my experience as a Linux system administrator through practical examples and scenarios. If you would like to start a career in Linux or simply improve your knowledge, this course is for you. Throughout the course, I will show you many of the tasks you would encounter when administering a Linux server.
Since being a system administrator, I know you might need to deal with more than only one Linux distribution, what I teach in this course, applies to many of them.
I know that the best way to learn something is by actually doing it, so I created this course by showing how to accomplish the tasks rather than just explaining how to do them in theory. Moreover, along with the video lectures, you will also find exercises to help you improve your hands-on experience. You will benefit for free from any new lectures and updates on the course.
Who is the target audience?
People who would like to take up their Linux knowledge to an upper level
Those who want to start a career as a Linux system administrator
Developers who need to administrate a Linux server
