  • Day 1 – web hosting shell accounts, using preinstalled Linux images, getting connected, followed by an introduction to the shell.
  • Day 2 – examines the Linux directory structure, basic Linux commands, teach yourself to fish, working with directories, and listing files and understanding ‘ls’ output.
  • Day 3 – file and directory permissions explained, finding files, viewing and editing files, comparing files, determining a file’s type, and searching in files.
  • Day 4 – deleting, copying, moving, and renaming files, sorting data, creating a collection of files, compressing files to save space, compressing archives, redirection, transferring and copying files, and more.
  • Day 5 – processes and job control, scheduled repeated jobs with cron, switching users and running commands as others, installing software, the end and the beginning.
