Hello everyone, and welcome! My name is Andrew Mallett, and you are just
minutes away from learning how to manage Linux systems.
Let me introduce you to my latest course, CompTIA Linux+: System Management.
I'm the owner of The Urban Penguin within the UK, training and consulting
in Linux, and I have been doing so now for many years,
working both as a system administrator and a dabbling developer,
working a lot with Python currently, and configuration management
systems, such as Ansible, Puppet, and Salt.
Now when you think about it, when you're learning to drive,
you don't learn to drive a Ford or a General Motors car.
You learn to drive.
When you learn Linux, you should think of it in the same way,
not learning a specific distribution, but learning Linux. This
course on CompTIA will help you learn Linux. Some of the major
topics that we cover include managing software,
networking in Linux, working with files, as well as advanced file
systems, such as LVMs and the BTRFS file system.
By the end of this course,
you will know how to manage a diverse range of Linux
systems, including RHEL, Ubuntu, and openSUSE.
Before beginning this course,
you should be familiar with working with the Linux command
line, skills you can gain if you don't already have them from the RHEL 8: Essential Tools course.
