Linux Training : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Survival Skills Series

This series teaches the basic working environment of an RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) system. It introduces commonly required operations that can be performed by entering commands interactively in a command terminal, along with functions available in the Desktop Environments (KDE and Gnome).

The courses are specifically for RHEL on any supported hardware platform.

Linux Training Prerequisites

This course is considered to be the basic RHEL course. Experience with any interactive system is helpful.

Linux Training Course duration

This course normally requires three (3) days, approximately 50% lecture and 50% lab time.

Linux Training Course Objectives

Each participant will be able to use Bash Shell techniques and commands to maintain collections of files, create files using interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive environment to meet their needs. Environment control via KDE/Gnome graphical utilities will also be shown. Day-to-day system administration functions are also shown by commands and graphical interfaces.

Linux Training Course Sessions Overview

The sessions are oriented in a layered approach: skills and techniques shown build upon the previous set. Each of the first three Skills sessions are one (1) day in duration. The overall goal is to have each participant at a functional (user and scripting) level with RHEL at the end of the course.
