Course Introduction

We are assuming you have either taken The Linux Foundation’s free Introduction to Linux (6 th Ed) at edX
(this MOOC – Massive Open Online Course – can be found by cliking here, or by searching the edX
website for “Linux”), or you have knowledge equivalent to, or better than what would be gained from
taking that couse.

LFS101x is free and, even if you feel you do not need to take that course, we recommend you sign up for
it; you can at least do a quick browse through the material. Some of the content areas covered in
LFS101x are covered in this course as well, usually at a more detailed level, befitting our audience. The
topic of package management is one susch ecample. Rather that repeat ourselves, we urge you to
reference the introductory course for basic topics not covered here.

There are some other topics which are necessary for system administrators to be knowledgeable about,
that we will not cover in this couse. In particular:

- Text editors (vi, emacs, nano, gedit, etc.)


- Finding Linux documentation (getting help)
- Manipulating text (sed, grep, awk, cut, paste, tail, head, etc.)
- File utilities (find, locate, file, etc.)
- Printing (configuring printers, managing print jobs)
- Graphical interfaces and their administration
- Bash shell scripting
- System installation

Before you take this course, we strongly recommend that you at least take a look at LFS101x. If you are
not completely familiar or comfortable with some of the basic utilities and prosedures we will be using
in this course, you will probably find they are discussed there: this course is not meant to stand alone.
