Linux,
the free,
Open Source operating system, is rapidly emerging as the leading
platform for many areas of computing that use high-performance, 32 and
64-bit
processors. Linux is emerging as the leading operating system in server
farms and a wide variety of embedded appliations, among others. And as
the cost of computing continues to plummet, these
processors are showing up just about everywhere. If you want to be
relevant in the computer world of the 21st century, you need to
understand Linux.
This 2-day
seminar is a fast-paced introduction into what makes Linux tick. The
focus is on the Linux shell, which is what you need to understand to be
productive in a Linux environment.
But more than just the shell, you will spend a fair amount of
time on shell scripting, the tool that really drives Linux development.
