In course 1 we talked about open source software and the motivation and methods of using it. In course 2, we will introduce you to Linux systems, and help you feel comfortable working at the command line:
What Linux is Linux history How to separate the kernel from the entire operating system Making contributions to the kernel Graphical system, and how it works Working at the command line Filesystem layout, partitions Monitoring utilities You will learn what it’s like to work on Linux system, and get a good understanding of the essential skills you need when you work on a daily basis with Linux systems.

instructor did a get job to explain the mentioned topic in this course. recommanded for beginners who are getting started.
GK
It was conceptual course. I enjoyed how professor taught important stuff only. Those who want to learn deeply this course is not for them but for basic knowledge its very good.
KR
I have gained a lot of great knowledge and use of Linux and its platform. I am very grateful for the content. I really like the way the instructor explains.
SM
It helps me a lot to improving my knowledge about linux and coursera is a great platform to build up a new skills for future jobs.
SS
This was the type of course I was searching for, it has allowed me to increase my capability tremendously by learning a lot of new stuff and bash things, the right way to do them. Its impressive.
DS
Great course and a great tutor. Assignments are awesome. Thanks coursera and Linux Foundation for organising this course.
SS
I'd introduce bash a bit more slowly, as it feels kind of rushed and somewhat hard to understand, but I think the rest of the course was pretty good.
A
this course is very good for someone who doesn't know about linux. I highly recommend this course to my classmates and friends
AD
It was very good course and the content was compressed to get the best. In this module instructor covers all linux distribution and commands used in different distribution to perform same functions.
AT
It's a great course to get your hands on linux, the only caviate is that its not in much depth and you need to do a lot of googling to understand stuff.
TH
Great introduction to Linux for Developers. Well balanced quizzes that allow the student to get a flavor of the material as well as the opportunity to dive deeper if interested.
AH
Nice course for the newbie in Linux world. I really got to know very new things from this course while working with ubuntu. Thanks to The Linux Foundation for this wonderful course.

If you do not know LINUX, then do not take this course.
This is a course that could have been good for beginners. But it not.
The order of the course is haphazard. For example early on in the course you are required to install packages - but the explanation of how to install packages is only at the end of the course.
The explanations given, in places, assume that your day job is as a network administrator or similar - so if you day job is not, again don't take this course.
Some of the lessons consist of a sheet detailing 20 or so commands - which for me at least, was not an easy way to learn something new.
I would say though that the course lecturer is clearly an expert in the field and that the material could be re-purposed with only some effort in order to make it beginner friendly (if they ever wanted to) . In the meantime - if you are a beginner, try somewhere else.
Unclear and not suited for absolute beginners. Get a good book like The Linux Bible, and learn through that.
This course was pretty disappointing, I was excited to start learning Linux and Bash but for some reason, the concepts that were introduced in this course were horribly sorted.
For example, for all weeks we used `yum` until week 5 where it was introduced. As well as choosing and installing a Linux distro, which was discussed in week 5 (last week of the course). I had to do a lot of googling for this course which I don't tend to on a normal Coursera course.
I just think that a little bit of planning and organizing would've made the course far more helpful.
Not very organised in terms of studying order, and some of the examples are a bit too simple and skimming the surface.
you just read the slide.
Very theoretical course, which I personally like, with much to learn. However, I don't think this is a course for beginers, since part of the content related to Computer Science is assumed to be known, and the contents for the last week seem a little out of place, being presented so late in the course.
The course falls tragically short of where it could be. The order of the lessons appears to be random (with installation and usage information provided at the end rather than the beginning), and this is complicated by information being provided for outdated packages and commands-- many of which have been completely phased out on some Linux kernels. Following along with an AWS RHEL instance was impossible for all but the most basic functions.
It appears that the information in this class was valid as of 2015-2016, and hasn't been updated since. Because most commands are provided in a written table format without context, I learned the most by Googling the topics being covered and going from there.
I don't know who the intended audience for this class is, but it isn't amateur Python developers.
too basic, fuzzy, doesn't really teach or provide any valuable hands on in linux
Nice course for the newbie in Linux world. I really got to know very new things from this course while working with ubuntu. Thanks to The Linux Foundation for this wonderful course.
a lot of bugs on site, lol i couldnt finish his course for hour because site didnt see my results
I would have put the lessons on installing the various packages, see week 5, at the beginning of the course.
Fehlende Zusammenhänge - es wird überhaupt nicht erklärt warum etwas gemacht wird, sondern einfach wahllos irgendwelche Befehle aufgelistet. Die Folien sind komplett überladen mit Prosatext, der nichts mit den Aufgaben zu tun hat, die in den Kapiteln danach folgen. Der Dozent wirkt lustlos und demotivierend. Alles in allem überhaupt nicht empfehlenswert.
Muy complicado de entender y las prácticas mal explicadas.
Excellent course, right to the point; however it's necessary for prospect students to have some basis in linux environments in order to properly develop the proposed labs. It worths the time invested.

This course is the best and amazing course I have ever attended but, I found that the week 5 must be placed as week 1 and all others be followed by it. Thank you for great course
Great introduction to Linux for Developers. Well balanced quizzes that allow the student to get a flavor of the material as well as the opportunity to dive deeper if interested.
Excellent course. Now I understand much better the fundamentals behind linux command line interface and some important administrative features.
Excellent course for all who want to have a very good knowledge in linux in every aspect.
