 TuxLinux, the free, Open Source operating system, is rapidly emerging as the leading platform for many areas of computing that use high-performance, 32 and 64-bit processors. Linux is emerging as the leading operating system in server farms and a wide variety of embedded appliations, among others. And as the cost of computing continues to plummet, these processors are showing up just about everywhere. If you want to be relevant in the computer world of the 21st century, you need to understand Linux.

This 2-day seminar is a fast-paced introduction into what makes Linux tick. The focus is on the Linux shell, which is what you need to understand to be productive in a Linux environment.  But more than just the shell, you will spend a fair amount of time on shell scripting, the tool that really drives Linux development.
