| Free
online Linux courses that are either affiliated or not, generally offer
self-study material and do not provide academic credits. Some of the
material that we bring to you today is offered through schools'
OpenCourseWare (OCW) projects and can be found in PDF, video and
screenshots formats. Though content is usually directed towards first time users of Linux systems, the IBM and the University of California at Davis' offerings cater to intermediate users. Students may need to have access to their own computers running Linux in order to complete some lessons. |
