Linux course

Hello.

Could you please recommend any free video course to learn basics of Linux? A free non-video course would be fine too.

Thank you.

I've already passed through NDG Linux Essentials (Cisco NetAcad) but it gave me nothing. Just basics. I need an A to Z course.
A better way to go may be to just spin up a cheap OVH dedicated server.

Then pick some project to accomplish, like setting up a blazing fast LAMP Stack running WordPress.

Then just use Google to answer questions at every step.

Linux encompasses a vast terrain of possibilities. Starting with a specific project will likely accelerate your learning.
Thanks for that, David. I guess I have forgotten everything about Linux so I need to start from A. :D

Do you have any experiences with Udemy.com?
There are many https://udemy.com courses for Linux + completing specific Linux based projects.

Also, as Shehbaz suggested, YouTube probably provides much you'd find on Udemy.

I'd likely start with YouTube.
Can you recommend something? As you said there are many courses on YT or Udemy.
YouTube + search for Linux...

or...

YouTube + search for a specific Linux topic...
Thanks, but I was asking for specific, recommended and based on your experience free course.

Did you think I hadn't done some research first? That was the first thing I did.
Your suggestions aren't even close to what I expected, it's something like this example:
Me: I have a problem with ...
You: Find something on Internet/YouTube.
'Thanks for help!' I would say.

I will copy my last post here in case you missed it.

I found many courses on YouTube. I ask what you can recommend!

Thank you for understanding.
Difficult to answer your question, as the breadth of Linux is... large...

This is why I suggested you spin up a cheap OVH dedicated machine + then start going through YouTube or Udemy courses which deal with your specific desired use cases for Linux.

For example, if you're building a NodeJS API or starting your own hosting company using LXD or setting up a WordPress E-Commerce site all have extremely different starting points.

Best to start with some target project + go through YouTube + Udemy courses directly related to your target project.

Then as you his specific snags in project, post specific questions to EE.

Asking... What's the best way to figure out how to setup a WordPress Blog able to sustain 1000s of request/second will generate responses pointing you to very specific resources.
You mentioned...

Expand a bit about A-Z about what?

Refer to my previous post for ideas for expanding your question.
Hello there Hello There ,

David Favor isn't being intentionally vague, your goals are over broad.

Most courses cover basic/advanced setup and administration of a server (Linux or otherwise)

From there the "would be" administrator would narrow down what he / she is looking to accomplish (Setup / secure / manage : Mail Server, DNS, Wordpress, Httpd, etc), setup a test server (physical, virtual, remote dedicated, etc) and search for necessary tutorials to work along with until his / her goals are met.

Perhaps if you had specific areas you were looking for help with, somebody might have a more direct solution to provide

I'm with Steve. My first Linux experience was 1994, getting a stack of 3.5" hard floppies in the mail.

I've used Linux ever since + every day I tend to have new questions.

Linux covers a broad terrain of tech to explore.
Thanks for explanation.
