Hands-On Lab Workshop: Linux Foundations
Event Overview
Join us for a hands-on look at Linux Foundations, a learning path that takes you from core Linux fundamentals to confident system administration. In this session, you'll explore how Linux is structured, get comfortable at the command line, and see how engineers manage users, permissions, processes, and storage in real environments. We'll also touch on hardening systems against attacks and automating routine work with shell scripts, giving you a practical view of the core skills every entry-level engineer needs to run Linux systems.
Featured Speakers
What to expect
- A guided walkthrough of Linux architecture, from the hardware up through the kernel, shell, and applications
- Live command-line demonstrations, including stream redirection and piping to chain commands together
- A look at managing users, permissions, processes, and services to keep a system running smoothly
- An overview of storage management, including disks, filesystems, and mounting
- A discussion of system hardening and automating routine tasks with shell scripts
- Live Q&A with presenter Will Robertson
Goals and Objectives
• Understand how Linux is built, from hardware through the kernel, shell, and applications • Learn to connect commands using redirection and pipes to solve real problems • Manage users, permissions, processes, and services to keep a system running • Work with storage, including disks, filesystems, and mounting, and monitor disk usage • Secure a system and automate routine tasks with simple shell scripts
Who should attend?
This workshop will be valuable to entry-level engineers, IT professionals looking to build core Linux skills, anyone preparing to take on system administration responsibilities, technologists with basic IT knowledge who want hands-on Linux practice and anyone looking to build a solid Linux foundation before moving into more advanced administration or security work.
