Linux in a nutshell

Learn the Linux essentials in this ABIS training of two half days.

This course gives a general introduction to Linux, a first acquaintance with the possibilities of the system, and some basic commands to start with.

We only take a look at the user "using" aspects of the operating system, not the system aspects.

A description of

  • the file system,
  • the processes, and
  • the shell

should prepare the user for using the basic Linux command set..

For a more thorough first introduction to Linux, we refer to our four-day course “Linux / UNIX fundamentals”.
