This Linux training course, “Using and Administering Linux – Zero to SysAdmin,” is significantly different from other courses. It consists of three volumes. Each of these three volumes is closely connected, and they build upon each other. This Linux training course differs from others because it is a complete self-study course. You should start at the beginning of Volume 1 and read the text, perform all of the experiments, and do all of the chapter exercises through to the end of Volume 3. If you do this, even if you are starting from zero knowledge about Linux, you can learn the tasks necessary to becoming a Linux system administrator, a SysAdmin.

Another difference this course has over others is that all of the experiments are performed on one or more virtual machines (VMs) in a virtual network. Using the free software VirtualBox, you will create this virtual environment on any reasonably sized host, whether Linux or Windows. In this virtual environment, you are free to experiment on your own, make mistakes that could damage the Linux installation of a hardware host, and still be able to recover completely by restoring the Linux VM host from any one of multiple snapshots. This flexibility to take risks and yet recover easily makes it possible to learn more than would otherwise be possible.

These course materials can also be used as reference materials. I have used my previous course materials for reference for many years, and they have been very useful in that role. I have kept this as one of my goals in this set of materials.

Books:
1) Using and Administering Linux: Volume 1: Zero to SysAdmin: Getting Started, 2nd Edition
2) Using and Administering Linux: Volume 2, Zero to SysAdmin: Advanced Topics, 2nd Edition
3) Using and Administering Linux: Volume 3, Zero to SysAdmin: Network Services, 2nd Edition

Who Should Take This Course:
If you want to learn to be an advanced Linux user and even a SysAdmin, this course is for you. Most SysAdmins have an extremely high level of curiosity and a deep-seated need to learn Linux system administration. We like to take things apart and put them back together again to learn how they work. We enjoy fixing things and are not hesitant about diving in to fix the computer problems that our friends and co-workers bring us. We want to know what happens when some computer hardware fails, so we might save defective components such as motherboards, RAM, and storage devices. This gives us defective components with which we can run tests.
