Red Hat Enterprise Linux Survival Skills Series
Linux Training Overview
This series teaches the basic working environment of an RHEL (Red
Hat Enterprise Linux) system. It introduces commonly required
operations that can be performed by entering commands interactively
in a command terminal, along with functions available in the Desktop
Environments (KDE and Gnome).
Each participant will be able to use Bash Shell techniques and
commands to maintain collections of files, create files using
interactive editor utilities, create and execute basic command
procedures, communicate with other users, and tailor the interactive
environment to meet their needs. Day-to-day system administration
functions are also shown by commands and graphical interfaces.
The sessions are oriented in a layered approach: skills and techniques
shown build upon the previous set. The Administration session is
two (2) days in length, comprising a set of operations that have
been shown to be absolutely essential to the successful installation,
starting,stopping, and operating a Red Hat Linux system.
The courses are specifically for RHEL on any supported hardware
platform.

at the RHEL Absolute System Essentials class is mandatory, or the
