Course Summary

This is a two day "crash course". The goal is to be a refresher for students with previous Unix environment and command line experience or as a quick introduction for students new to Unix.

This high-paced, hands-on class covers the most commonly used terminology and skills needed for getting started and recognizing the Unix platform. Of course, Unix can not be taught in two days; nevertheless this class will help students recognize how the Unix system is layed out, where important files are located, know how to use the basic syntax of the most essential Unix tools, and, most importantly, the students will learn how to easily and quickly solve problems. The class will introduce fundamental skills that all Unix users should know.
