Looking to learn Linux? 

This course is aimed for beginners looking to dive into the Linux command line

We will be starting from the initial install and using a setup of VirtualBox and Vagrant, and you will leave having the fundamentals to continue on your learning journey.

Why learn Linux?

Over 90% of the public cloud workload operates on Linux. If you’re going to be working in anything cloud related, you will be touching Linux.
Even in our everyday lives, Linux comes into play. In fact, those google searches? They are made possible with Linux behind the scenes.

Why vagrant?

This tool uses a base image to quickly clone a virtual machine, and saves time and resources in the process. It allows for a repeatable process, should you want to get more virtual machine environments after the course.

In the course, I am using MacOS, if you鈥檙e using Windows please use Git for Windows as this provides a Bash emulation.
This will align things as closely as possible to using Unix/Linux and will ensure you have an SSH Client.
