We'll start off with the fundamentals of Linux, including the directory structure, files, shell scripting and the command line, and permissions. Once you've grasped the basics we then build upon those topics by looking at more intermediate-level techniques.

Towards the end of the course, we will also begin looking at more advanced commands, permissions, job controls, switching between users, and installing software using RPM- and Debian-based systems.
