From the course author:
This course is based on the original Linux Foundation's Introduction to Linux course, which was always taught with an instructor in the classroom or virtual classroom via the Internet. The Linux Foundation believes that the challenge of changing this course for free use by the community has been well worth the effort.


The main distributions under study will be:

• Ubuntu
• OpenSUSE
• CentOS

All training materials for the course are immediately available. The course is not limited in time. To obtain a certificate of completion, you only need to pass the final exam well enough.
