It gave a good and suitable overview of the Linux system. Good exercises. In particular, I was very pleased with the bash lessons. I have the courage to go ahead with a Python lesson. Thanks for a good course.

I really enjoyed the Try-It-Yourself parts of the course, as well as the chapters on scripting. As an IT engineer who didn't have prior knowledge regarding Linux distributions, this gave me the basic introductory knowledge I needed, and the tools to learn more commands myself using man and documentations on the internet.

As a homeless veteran with limited skill and help, this course has been amazing. I plan to take all the LFCA courses and hopefully get certified. Thank you so much.

I feel like I have a much greater understanding of Linux than ever before. I've "played" with Linux for years, but now I feel like I can do things with it.
