1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,080 Hello and welcome to the latest edition of CompTIA Linux Plus Pearson CertPrep. 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:17,120 My name is Sander van Vugt and I will be your instructor in this course. 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,040 This course covers every topic in the exam and was created to help you prepare for and 4 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:23,959 pass the test. 5 00:00:23,959 --> 00:00:27,480 The contents of this course will build upon your existing knowledge of Linux. 6 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:33,160 We will start with my Linux Fundamentals course, which is an introduction title covering essential 7 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:38,599 Linux management tasks, such as working with the Linux file system, managing users and 8 00:00:38,599 --> 00:00:43,400 permissions, managing software, and managing processes. 9 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,759 If you are already well versed in these topics, you can move on to the next section which 10 00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:52,759 covers everything you need to know to pass the new CompTIA Linux Plus exam. 11 00:00:52,759 --> 00:00:58,000 In the Linux Plus section, you will get 23 lessons covering all objectives on the exam. 12 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000 In both sections, you will encounter labs, lightboard instruction, and demos. 13 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,760 In the Linux Fundamentals portion of this course, I'll carefully guide you through the 14 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:13,360 essential topics of the Linux operating system, starting in Module 1 which covers Linux basics. 15 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,279 After performing a basic installation of Linux, I'll get you going on the Linux command line 16 00:01:18,279 --> 00:01:22,800 in the core lesson of this course, which are about using essential tools, the GNOME 17 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,279 Display Manager, essential file management tools, working with text files, and advanced 18 00:01:28,279 --> 00:01:30,720 text file processing. 19 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,839 These lessons are followed by information about connecting to a server and working with 20 00:01:34,839 --> 00:01:36,680 the bare shell. 21 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,720 In Module 2, you'll learn how to apply user-related security and how to manage storage. 22 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,720 This module includes lessons about user and group management, as well as permission management. 23 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,040 After studying the last lesson in this module, you'll also have a solid basic understanding 24 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,879 of working with storage, where you will learn how to create file systems and how to mount 25 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,000 them as well. 26 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,639 In Module 3, we'll discuss Linux features that you will need to know in order to configure 27 00:02:04,639 --> 00:02:07,639 Linux to meet your daily IT needs. 28 00:02:07,639 --> 00:02:12,199 I'll start by explaining networking, and next you'll learn about System D. 29 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,360 This is followed by lessons about software management, SSH, time management, and process 30 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,679 management, and in the final two lessons you'll learn about tasks scheduling and working with 31 00:02:21,679 --> 00:02:23,440 log files. 32 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,160 In Module 4, you'll learn about advanced topics. 33 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,839 This includes information about containers and Linux, managing the kernel, hardware as 34 00:02:30,839 --> 00:02:33,720 well as an introduction to Linux security. 35 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,080 In the CompTIA Linux Plus portion of this course, I'll start by covering user essential 36 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,360 Linux management tasks in Module 1. 37 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:46,160 In this module, you'll find three lessons, Lesson 1 which is dedicated to user-related 38 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,759 security, Lesson 2 about networking, and Lesson 3 in which you'll learn about more advanced 39 00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,160 parts of System D. 40 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,199 Module 2 is all about storage-related settings. 41 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:02,639 In this module, Lesson 4 introduces hardware management, Lesson 5 discusses managing partitions 42 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,240 and storage, and in Lesson 6 you'll learn how to work with file systems. 43 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,759 Module 3 is about common administration tasks. 44 00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:15,199 This first lesson explains how to configure logging in a Linux
