Learning Resources for Linux

Notes

1. While Linux and Unix are different operating systems, the administration of them are virtually the same. So resources for either of these can be used for this course.
2. There are a number of different ways to learn: watch a video, read information (from a website or a book), do a lab, etc. You are required to one of each of the first three to learn different aspects. This is so you experience all of them and can see the advantages of each and what works for you.
3. You must show a record of completely your lessons. Some will generate a certificate of some sort. Some may not. You must find a way to demonstrate to you used that resource. If there is a quiz or something associated with it, that should also work. When in doubt, ask in class before it is due!
