Description
Course Update! Fedora has been updated to version 27. Some of background images and icons have changed but the command syntax used in the labs remains constant. Having to update the course with every updated version is administratively burdensome but I will be updating labs and videos if I see a pattern of issue.
By the end of this course you will know and understand the fundamentals of the Linux Fedora operating system and be able to apply that knowledge as needed.
If you want to learn Linux system administration using real world applied learning, read on.
