Linux is everywhere, and it's difficult. Make sure you know it.

Linux is almost the only operating system used on both small devices (IoT), and very large computers. Interested in Cyber security? The only tools professionals ever use for Penetration Testing all run on Linux (Kali, Parrot). Every year Microsoft incorporates more Linux into their offerings. Windows 10 can natively run many Linux apps (via Windows Subsystem for Linux). .NET applications are now expected to also work on Linux machines (via Docker containers). Linux is predominantly command-line driven, with awkward and often obscure commands. Consequently, it's super easy to make mistakes. This course will teach you what you need to know to avoid mistakes and learn to love Linux. Our Linux courses are always delivered on a fully up-to-date version of Linux (usually CentOS), but also always cover the differences between the major Linux distros (Red Hat Enterprise RHEL, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Kali, Mint, SUSE etc.) Recent years have seen big changes in the UNIX/Linux world. For example: init and syslogd have been replaced with systemd; GRUB has been replaced with GRUB2; ext4 replaced with xfs and btrfs; physical partitions replaced with LVM; iptables replaced with firewalld; ifconfig, route, arp and netstat replaced with ip and ss; and Gnome 2 replaced with Gnome 3. Here at Quanta, we keep a close eye on changes, and update our courses on a regular basis to ensure you always learn all you need to keep your skills current.
