More importantly, you will be able to put those concepts to use in practical real-world situations. You'll be able to configure, maintain, and support a variety of Linux systems.

command line

If I was to make any recommendation for improvement I'd like to see the actual command line examples that Jason runs through in his terminal during the training, captured and added to the slides that you can download.

Learned a lot in this course including useful command line tricks.

I feel comfortable using the command line and navigating the file system, editing files ad permissions.

I already use Linux but the details of working with scripts and command line is one of the foundations for using linux and I needed that the most.

The first couple of lessons are very basic and can easily be skipped if you have a running Linux system and some basic command line knowledge.

The lessons start with a comprehensive description of the content and are followed by live examples executed at the command line.

In my opinion, this course gives you an excellent grounding in Linux so that you're prepared to move on to other tutorials/concepts with a firm understanding of the fundamentals (and his command line Kung Fu really speeds up your terminal skills!).

command line editors) Very informative course, was very at ease in understatnding the topics.

Good course to take for learning the basics of command line.

Name of course is misleading for this was the basics of command line not an administration bootcamp.

I feel much more confident reading lines of code on the command line!

Provides a solid introduction to Linux command line,perfect for beginners.

He didnt told about CENT OS where to get this Every Good so far in terms of beginners guide to Linux nice till now too robotics and too fast -4.5 Detailed and easy to understand I feel the linux systems administrator course should be more geared toward learning the command line basics and such.

Very simple step by step instructions Good stuff Yes.

I appreciate how thorough the step by step instructions are to being with.

super helpful Good so far Very good presentation with step by step instructions.

learnt a lot

I learnt a lot.

The course was good and I learnt a lot.

I've learnt a lot from this course, and have become a far better Linux user thanks to this one.

All is very clear I learnt a lot of real world linux knowledge, that I could apply in production environment from this course.

Very well spoken I already work with this stuff, but I learnt a lot of valuable tips none-the-less.

i liked the course, i learnt a lot, the infrastructure is excellent.

Enjoyed the course and have learnt a lot Thanks Short and punchy sessions, good bite-size teaching style with steady progress Its been great so far.

straight forward

Course delivery is clear and straight forward, Linux is big topic, this course helps get started and familiarize with Linux and give base to move forward with advanced topics.

Very straight forward lectures with concepts that are easy to grasp and apply in real time.

You are very straight forward, clear, and honestly good to hear when it comes to your explanation of Linux so far.

Straight forward and detailed.

He uses very easy and straight forward wording to explain and clear the concepts.

Am enjoying learning right now Instructor covered material that provided the user knowledge of critical processes in a simple and straight forward manner.

Another thing is having some practical scenario based quiz rather then straight forward questions.

Simple and straight forward instructions with screens shot that allow me to follow and carry out task without hassles Easy to follow, clear explanations at a manageable pace.

Video hangs in the middle and have to start from the begninng simple straight forward and so far everything has been free to gain entry to the world of linux, coming from a Microsoft background, this makes a refreshing change :) Very informative, with easy to follow instructions, makes it easy to remember and keeps me motivated to learn more.

learned about vurtualbox and 7-zip El curso puede ser más explícito y completo hasta donde va Fairly rudimentary knowledge at this point - I have minimal exposure to Linux i find the information very useful and straight forward.

shell scripting

There are some advanced topics that were a little fast for me (shell scripting, that crazy stuff with pulling part of a previous command, LVM was a little fast but with lifetime access I'll just go back over it several times) and also quite a bit to actual administration that is not covered (i.e.

Will be completing the Linux Shell Scripting: A Project-Based Approach to Learning next!

First, let me say I have throughly enjoyed Jason's other courses: Vim and Shell Scripting.

Having said that the instructor however could have stressed more on topics such as shell scripting so that it becomes easy for people who are starting from scratch but overall a good course for beginners.

Also gained some introductory knowledge of shell scripting.

The things that I would love to see are more quiz questions or some practice questions and a bit more detailed shell scripting videos and exercises.

Wanna take other courses on Shell scripting and other projects.

i have been using linux for sometime and have learned lots of new commands, can't wait to try your shell scripting course.

So this i my first tutorial of author ... so far it very good Topic are covered very fast , shell scripting examples are less and completed very quickly.

Jason certainly knows his stuff.

instructor knows his stuff and he is accessible to help answer any questions related to the material.

virtual box

Request to add more material like exercises for users to practice and upload to check if their results match yes , learning new things and getting brushup on old command .. got stuck to install linux through Virtual Box ...

I had a problem getting the Virtual Box to run so i'm not sure if what i saw actually works.

- Love the CLI Kungfu - learned a couple of new things there - The Oracle Virtual Box setup section was excellent - Basic file/user Permissions was very thorough - Good information on RPM, YUM, & DPKG - Solid networking discussion - NEW LVM Section - thumbs up If you have a some experience or consider yourself a novice user then there are some noticeable gaps.

Also, he showed how to get the CentOS Virtual Box image rather than downloading the entire CentOS which I've done before.

I understand whatever you explained so far really i like the way jason explain the cours , he gives you a good structure to understand the fundamental of linux If this course includes True Beginners, then before downloading and installing virtual box, virtual box should be explained.

So far it is really a helpful lecture on linux I have tried downloading virtual box before on other videos, but this content was very easy for me to follow and allowed me to download the correct files, whereas before I was having trouble getting the correct settings.

I read Mr.Cannon's books as well and I think he bring clarity for me expressing himself and breaking complex topics down to bite size learning for any level... Dingen als virtual box gebruik ik al, dus kon delen overslaan All clear and easy Seems it has promise but want to see scripting with VI editor.

My virtual box showing 5.18 the training is showing something different.

each section

Increase the number of quiz questions at the end of each section.

This course is good I love how this course breaks down and explains each section.

Same thing applies after each section and after the complete course.

It would be wonderful if at the end of each section author add quiz.

Great format (What you Learn, explanation, examples, and finally a summary) for each section.

There's lots of information, so I'd suggest taking notes and going over them after each section.

Each section gives me the confidence that I will be able build my career as a Linux Administrator NA
