LINUX User Introduction
Course Aims
This course covers the competencies and skills identified as key to intending Linux users. The course aims are to give readers sufficient skills to allow them to run applications in a Linux environment and the associated procedures this requires, such as organising, copying, moving and deleting files. Providing hands-on experience, on completion of the course the reader will be able to: understand the concepts underlying Linux and the benefits offered; be able to log on and off the system and run their chosen applications; be able to manage their files; and be able to use a variety of commands, tools and utilities. |
Assumed Knowledge
Familiarity with basic computing concepts is desirable. Knowledge of another operating system (for example, MS-DOS) would be an advantage but not essential. |
Course Audience
Recent, new or intending Linux environment users. |
