Instructor seems to not answer a question that was asked over 2 years ago. It's a nice step by step tutorial but there are other courses with more content and quizes that are better.

It wasn't bad taught me a few things that I did not know but was expecting a little more information. Helpful but still could have more information

I now have a good understanding on how to use this program. This will be very useful as I start to learn how to administer Linux machines!

this was great for an intro, as i was a little lost on other courses because they did not give a 'background'. Background is always needed to understand any higher level concepts. Only issue i would say, is the loss of focus on the desktop quite a few times throughout the course.

Concise and to the point. However, the network part seems to cover only a specific type of setting. E.g. I use wireless only and many of the steps shown in the video were simply greyed out on my machine..
