Course delivered as promised, however standards have changed, and the operating systems that were demonstrated have updated significantly since this release. Got some good hands-on troubleshooting on account of this, however, if you're looking to pass the comptia test, they've changed to a different exam format. On the whole, I'm not sure how applicable/ relevant all of this information is to the new test or upgraded systems of the last decade. To be clear, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot from it, and I've even switched my main desktop system to Linux during the course. However, this is a course from 2009 and should either be updated, modified, or removed.

The course is good and the instructor is knowledgeable. However, is seriously outdated and needs to be updated with new content and the non-essential stuff needs to be discarded. Has still a value and I learned new stuff but cannot be used as a primary reference to pass the exam.

The content is fine, but why is it divided into 1-2-3 minute long videos? It's very irritating as in many cases the next video just won't load so you have to click again and again and again. In the end I don't see any added benefit in having hundreds of very short videos.

Informational was clearly presented and I appreciated the focus on security throughout. Unfortunately, much of the content is dated and most Linux distributions have already moved on to systemd (journald) which requires a totally different approach for administration.

The content seems *very* dated. Does the course content not get updated regularly? Most of it appears to be from around 2007! It's 2021!

Covers only the barest surface of topics. Barely explains the lessons as they are introduced. Might be useful for professionals who already know everything.

This is a very extensive course in becoming a Unix admin. The exam related to the course has been replace, but this course gives very good basis what to learn for the newer KX0-004 exam. The thing with Linux is it many age, but fundamental command line programs still remain on default installations or via package installs.

Great instructor. Combines 3 methods which gel well together: 1. He talks about the background of a service / command / topic 2. He will also share slides with the command information 3. He then demonstrates it at the command line

did not explain all the pointers in the video and was not detailed with the explanation of each point

Very good instructor with a good sense of humor. Did a fantastic job on this (now aging) material. Hopefully I'll see him again in future classes. Thank you!

Very comprehensive Linux course and many examples! You can make a very good idea about how things works in Linux. Maybe some subjects could be more detailed. It is an old course for 2020, but doesn't matter very much.

This is good for someone who is new to Linux, especially the command line. It's not the newest of information out there.
Trevor
March 13, 2020
Most of the information is well presented and still relevant. Some of it is outdated or not included in the LPIC or Linux+ exams anymore, while some current exam topics are not touched on at all. Both the LPIC and Linux+ exam objectives changed in the past year, so use this course for background, but find newer material if you want to pass those exams.

Even though the course was really long it was still engaging and easy enough to understand. Videos are short and straight to the point, really good if you want to revisit them.
Rob

It opens up with a clip from 2009!! This isn't new at all. What was advertised and what is sold is not matching. Would rather have my money back.
