Recommended Background
This class is designed for people who have little or no prior experience with Linux or Unix. System administrators, developers, architects, decision makers or new Linux users can all benefit from the content covered in this class, especially if they are looking to work with more involved topics such as Linux system administration, network management and enterprise system architecture.
We minimally expect students to have prior exposure to a computer running an operating system such as Apple or Windows. Experience using the basic features of a typical PC system, such as handling a mouse and a keyboard is also assumed.
