Linux Training
Linux is recognized as a major operating system by data center administrators as well as CIOs. Today there are more web servers running on Linux than on any other operating system platform. All major organizations are deploying Linux in their servers for cost effective services. According to a study done recently, more than 75% of the fortune 500 companies have already deployed Linux or are considering to do so in near future. With this booming of Linux deployment, increases the demand for professionals who are conversant with Linux became higher and higher. This includes end users, administrators, network engineers, programmers, as well as buyers of Linux systems.
Though Linux is an open source product and free doesn’t mean that its maintenance is also easy and free of cost. Unlike Windows, most operation in Linux environment is done through CLI which became a nightmare for Windows users having no prior experiences working with Linux/Unix environment. Since CLI is the primary working environment in Linux and it requires more in depth knowledge, logic as well takes time for one to be expertise in developing good professional Linux skills. Hence number of Linux professional with good skill is less as compared to Windows users and this makes Linux professional an excellent growing demand in the IT market.
Linux Certification training program includes a rich portfolio of classes, from Linux Fundamentals to advance System Administration and Networking. Linux Certification also offers efficient and highly effective Open Source Software solutions at your facility as well as remotely over secured network.
Why Linux Training?
Linux is a Unix-like operating system that was designed to provide personal computer users a free or very low-cost operating system comparable to traditional and usually more expensive Unix systems. Linux has a reputation as a very efficient and fast-performing system. Linux’s kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki in Finland. To complete the operating system, Torvalds and other team members made use of system components developed by members of the Free Software Foundation for the GNU Project.
Linux is a remarkably complete operating system, including a graphical user interface, an X Window System, TCP/IP, the Emacs editor, and other components usually found in a comprehensive Unix system. Although copyrights are held by various creators of Linux’s components, Linux is distributed using the Free Software Foundation’s copy left stipulations that mean any modified version that is redistributed must in turn be freely available. Unlike Windows and other proprietary systems, Linux is publicly open and extendible by contributors. Because it conforms to the Portable Operating System Interface standard user and programming interfaces, developers can write programs that can be ported to other operating systems. Linux comes in versions for all the major microprocessor platforms including the Intel, PowerPC, Sparc, and Alpha platforms.
Important Features of Linux
- No constant rebooting—Uptime is valued as a matter of pride (remember, Linux and other UNIX systems are most often used as servers, which are expected to stay up 24/7). After the original installation, you can install or remove most software without having to reboot your computer.
- Start/stop services without interrupting others—You can start and stop individual services (such as Web, file, and e-mail services) without rebooting or even interrupting the work of any other users or features of the computer. In other words, you should not have to reboot your computer every time someone sneezes.
- Portable software—You can usually change to another Linux, UNIX, or BSD system and still use the exact same software! Most open source software projects were created to run on any UNIX-like system and many also run on Windows systems, if you need them to. If it won’t run where you want it to, chances are that you, or someone you hire, can port it to the computer you want. (Porting refers to modifying an application or driver so it works in a different computer architecture or operating system.)
- Downloadable applications—If the applications you want are not delivered with your version of Linux, you can often download and install them with a single command, using tools such as apt and yum.
- No settings hidden in code or registries—Once you learn your way around Linux, you’ll find that (given the right permissions on your computer) most configuration is done in plain text files that are easy to find and change.
- Mature desktop—The X Window System (providing the framework for your Linux desktop) has been around longer than Microsoft Windows. The KDE and GNOME desktop environments provide graphical interfaces (windows, menus, icons, and so forth) that rival those on Microsoft systems. Ease-of-use problems with Linux systems are rapidly evaporating.
- Freedom—Linux, in its most basic form, has no corporate agenda or bottom line to meet. You are free to choose the Linux distribution that suits you, look at the code that runs the system, add and remove any software you like, and make your computer do what you want it to do.
