Series Details

About

In this short series we will cover everything from the factors to decide what Linux distribution to advanced installation techniques, and Linux sysadmin, including the Unix/Linux command line. I will be demonstrating Linux installation, command line usage, and sysadmin with MX-Linux 23.3 running in a virtual machine. Each session will conclude with a quiz.

In the first session we will cover the various factors for deciding what Linux distribution, and desktop environment are right for various uses. In the second session we will demonstrate how to make a live Linux USB, and we will install MX-Linux on a virtual machine and install some software. In the final session I will teach the Unix/Linux command line and I will deliberately brake the operation system so we can fix it to demonstrate the use of the command line.

If you would like to install Linux on a computer please feel free to message me and I can setup a session specifically to your needs.

Tutor qualifications:
I have been using various Linux distributions for nearly 8 years (as long as I have had a computer). I have solved numerous complex sysadmin problems throughout this time. Just over a year ago I finally acquired a computer capable of virtualization allowing me to further experiment with Linux systems in potentially destructive ways without causing any real harm.



✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You will be withdrawn from the series if you have more than 2 unexcused absences in a row. Please message the tutor in advance for any absences! I can schedule extra sessions to cover any missed material.

About the Tutor

I am a home schooled student in the junior year of high school living in Florida. My primary interests are in engineering, and I would like to provide assistance with STEM related subjects such as math and computer programming. For fun I enjoy participating in space and physics related citizen science projects on zooniverse.com, researching random technologies and subjects into the ground on the internet, learning Mandarin Chinese, and programming.
