Title: Free intro training course to Linux
Post by: jalaj on Wed, 30 July 2014, 22:21:01
Free Linux intro training course starting August 1st.

Training is free, sign up here:
https://www.edx.org/course/linuxfoundationx/linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-introduction-1621

Optional $250 certification test (for an intro level knowledge??). I'm not certain what this entails or is of any benefit career-wise, so YMMV.

Starting guide to have your Linux environment set up before the training starts:
https://training.linuxfoundation.org/images/pdfs/Preparing_Your_Computer_for_LFS101x.pdf

I use Linux, but mostly as of late for only media and web-browsing purposes. Might be able to pick up something useful in the training, could be worth checking out if you have the time.

I signed up for this course a while back and have been waiting for it to finally begin.

I also took a python course on edx and they did a really good job. I learned a lot and definitely think it's worth the time.  It can get a little overwhelming if you don't have the time to work on the class every day. I'd still recommend it though.  :thumb:
