This course is designed to take the confusion and frustration out of working with any UNIX version. The series of classroom labs, which run in a "real-world" UNIX environment (Red Hat Linux), are structured to allow you to learn by doing. The hands-on labs progressively build your UNIX knowledge and command skills in a clear and concise manner. Working in a controlled classroom UNIX environment with an expert instructor, you will learn the commands, command syntax, file system structure, file manipulation, UNIX terminology, and UNIX design concepts. You will receive professional tips and techniques which will help you build your UNIX confidence and skills that are relevant to Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, SCO, Linux, FreeBSD, IRIX and all other versions of UNIX.

Self-Paced e-Learning Details Title 1: UNIX/Linux File System Design and Navigation This First section is a gentle introduction to the basic login process required on UNIX/Linux based hosts followed by an introduction to the users' command line interface where the student is shown some basic commands, what the UNIX file system looks like and a few commands to move around this file system. Title 2: File Commands and File System In this second Introduction to UNIX/Linux title, the student is introduced to the basic file manipulation commands that are common to all versions of UNIX/Linux and some of the underlying aspects of the command line interface itself with the introduction to shell variables. Title 3: Security, I/O, and Customization In this Third Introduction to UNIX/Linux title, the student is introduced to some of the special features common to all UNIX/Linux versions, namely the security of the files, redirection of inputs and outputs, the basic use of the most commonly available text oriented editor named vi, pronounced vee-eye, and finishes with customization of the command line interface for future revisits to the system. Title 4: UNIX Utilities In this Fourth Introduction to UNIX/Linux title, the student is introduced to the basic user utilities every UNIX/Linux user needs to know for finding files, finding content in files, printing files if printers are already setup, and it finishes with a quick introduction to all the basic command line oriented networking tools and their related concepts that every user should be familiar with.
