I liked the examples and labs.

I enjoyed the browser terminal that was available for practice during some of the lessons, to practice commands that came up, it helped save time from having to open a personal terminal.

I liked the information about File and Text Manipulation, Bash Scripting, and Linux File System.

I liked the try-it-yourself exercises, and the fact that most of the content was text-based. Everything was well explained.

Not too much (content and size of chapters, amount of practice), but not too little either, just enough to keep you motivated to tackle the next chapter. The exercises are very valuable, because the learning content is memorized.
