Additionally, this curriculum provides more detailed information about working within the Linux shell environment. This includes customizing the Shell environment and shell functionality. It also covers standard input, output, and file compression, examines data backup processes and procedures.
Lastly, the learner will learn how to control processes and access remote computers.
This curriculum consists of two Skill Builder courses:
Learn To
• Identify the main features
of the Linux operating system.
• Identify the features
of the main Linux distributions.
• Identify some of the
hardware requirements for installing Linux.
• Identify the features
of disk organization for Linux partitions.
• Identify the features
of the main Linux file system types.
• Identify the features
of Linux users' home directories.
• Identify three ways to
display disk space.
• Identify the features
of certain Linux-compatible applications.
• Identify the features

Audience
The audience for this curriculum
will be very wide. Learners will generally come from two backgrounds: The
first group are new to Linux with little to no previous Linux or Unix experience,
the second group will have some Linux or Unix experience, but want to learn
about Linux or the basics of System and Network Administration. Learners
who start the curriculum with the first user fundamentals course will have
experience of other O/S, but assume that they are completely Linux inexperienced.
