Students should already be comfortable working in a Linux or Unix environment. Fundamentals such as the Linux filesystem, process management, and how to edit files will not be covered in class.

An understanding of network concepts, and the TCP/IP protocol suite is helpful. These skills are taught in the GL120 “Linux Fundamentals” course.
