Happy 30th, Linux!

August 25, 2021October 28th, 2021Announcements

“I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing since april, and is starting to get ready. I’d like any feedback on things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat (same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons) among other things).

I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work. This implies that I’ll get something practical within a few months, and I’d like to know what features most people would want. Any suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them :-)”

With that note to an online newsgroup 30 years ago today, Linus Torvalds announced what would become arguably the most significant piece of software in history – Linux. Since August 25, 1991, Linux has grown to power all the world’s supercomputers, most mobile devices, financial exchanges, space stations and rovers, and serve as the backbone of the cloud and the internet itself. Companies, organizations, governments and individuals around the world rely on it to conduct business and live their lives every single day.

Our upcoming 2021 Open Source Jobs Report, which will be released in late September, will reveal that demand for Linux talent is as strong as ever, especially as companies rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. That means now is the perfect time to improve your Linux skills, which is why through the end of 2021 we are offering 30% off select Linux-focused training courses and certification exams in recognition of the 30th anniversary (use code LINUX30 at checkout).

Programs in this offer include:

  • Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS) – Demonstrates you have the ability to design, install, configure, and manage a system installation, and understand key concepts such as networking, storage, security, maintenance, logging and monitoring, application lifecycle, troubleshooting, API object primitives and the ability to establish basic use-cases for end users. The discount is valid for the standalone exam or bundled with the associated training course.

eLearning Courses:

  • Essentials of Linux System Administration (LFS201) – In this eLearning course, you’ll learn how to administer, configure and upgrade Linux systems running one of the three major Linux distribution families (Red Hat, SUSE, Debian/Ubuntu). You’ll also learn all the tools and concepts you need to efficiently build and manage a production Linux infrastructure. This course also serves as preparation for the LFCS exam.
