Truly enlightening course. Can be taken by novices who want to get started with Enterprise Linux and also by professionals looking to up their skills. Highly recommended.

Excellent instructor who has a lot of practical knowledge of network security. I would certainly enroll in another course if it were offered through the same instructor.

That's an excellent course - cause later on if you continue studying Linux and working with it, you will see that the course prepared you well for the task - and also, which is very important, later on you would feel the need to return back and check course materials again. Until you realize that the matter, the subject in the course, is really simple and well defined, organized and classified, it is simple - but at a (scientific) university level, and you can make it to a professional level!

The course was a basic and user-friendly introduction to beginners in Linux system management and configuration. Although some concepts could have been explained better, and some aspects of the course could have been refined, the course is altogether great for beginners. It does not take long, but Linux has a difficult learning curve regardless of the course or teacher.

This was a great course however, the last exam is confusing, peers are reviewing your assignments which delays your course to finish , I would request from the instruction to change it and make it more simple for learners , the rest it included lot of good stuff and tips and techniques to manage and secure linux servers in production environments Thank you.

Good Beginner level information of differences between linux flavors & purpose such as CentOS linux, Kali Linux, and Ubuntu. Also discusses permissions, linux directories for groups & users and other linux native solutions such as Firewalld, iptables, ipfilter etc. Good start before getting into deeper level matertial.

C'est un cours intéressant qui vous permettra en partant de rien de mettre en place la sécurité sur un serveur Linux. Mais vous devrez un peu pratiquer par vous même. Pour ceux que l'Anglais interesse : le cours est bien exclusivement en Anglais.

I got a 30% on the final project and then received a 96% without much adjustment. Should average the non-zero peer reviews. That way the reviews that aren't serious are eleminated from the score.

Since I am a beginner for Linux server management this course gave me good fundamental knowledge to continue my career. And I recommend this course to the student who likes to self-study.

Pretty Awesome course. But I was expecting a hands-on assignment on this course. Otherwise all the reading materials and videos are awesome. Thanks.
