This two day course will cover the very basics of Unix/Linux. No previous knowledge about these operating systems is expected, as the course serves as an introduction to those who are completely new to Linux. Both days have extended hands-on exercises.

The course will give the participant the basic knowledge and skills to use the Unix shell. How to navigate around, copy files and launch applications. In addition to being useful on CSC's servers, basic unix skills may come in handy elsewhere too, and knowing the basics makes later self study much easier. The hands-on exercises also will include a demonstration on how to set up one's own Linux system.

If Linux is not familiar, you can prepare by looking at the materials of the previous workshop.
