Hi, I'm Clyde Boom, and if you’ve been trying to learn Linux on your own, or have been searching for an alternative to high-priced, yet hard to understand training courses, I know how you feel. |
|
| |
For two years I struggled to learn Linux. I studied more than 100 books on Linux and enlisted the aid of two paid consultants. The free info on the Internet all seemed to be written for people that already knew how to use Linux. Nothing was in a user-friendly training style. Nowhere could I find clear examples and a logical progression from the basics to advanced concepts. |
|
| |
When I first started to try to learn Linux, I hesitantly invested in a $5,000 live Linux training course, for Linux beginners from a reputable company, only to discover that the training was way above my head. The instructor talked at the level of people who already understood a lot about Linux. |
|
| |
Fortunately, once I overcame all these hurdles, I used my more than two decades of computer training experience to create the I Learn Linux Video Tutorials.
|
|
| |
These are easy-to-follow, step-by-step, detailed training videos that enable you to master Linux affordably - and at your own pace. |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Why I Learn Linux Video Tutorials are the Clear Hands-On Choice |
|
|
| |
Whether you’re hoping to qualify for a promotion, earn a hefty raise, snag a new job or keep your current job because your company is trying to save on software licensing fees, I Learn Linux Video Tutorials are the easiest, most affordable way to reach your goal. |
|
|
| |
These Linux Commands video tutorials - for ANY Linux version: |
|
|
| • |
Cover all major Linux distributions. With today’s rapidly changing, laissez-faire Linux landscape, it doesn’t make sense to become familiar only with Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, Debain or any other one version of Linux. |
|
| |
If you ever might change jobs, have to work with different project partners or take on a specialized computer challenge, you’re likely to need familiarity with other Linux distributions. That’s why the I Learn Linux videos explain commonalities and differences among the many versions you might encounter in the marketplace. |
|
| • |
Start with the basics. Because Linux has evolved in such a helter-skelter fashion, few people have taken the time to figure out which topics you must know first and what should be taught later. On the contrary, most documentation or training available on Linux assumes you already know the basics and frustrates you with advanced explanations of what you need to know to get started. |
|
| |
I Learn Linux videos feature a carefully planned and tested sequence of topics from beginning to intermediate to advanced, so that you can follow along easily and learn step by step. Session by session, you’ll master concepts and techniques that move you steadily along in the learning process and set the stage for the next lesson. |
|
| • |
Set you up to learn efficiently. You’ll learn Linux best if you practice as you go along. Yet if your computer or network uses Windows and you don’t have a spare system on which to install Linux, learning it becomes complicated. The live version of Linux on CD or DVD that you may have to use makes it next to impossible to save what you’ve done on Linux for your next practice session. Sometimes it screws up your Windows operating system. This issue is a major stumbling block for many Linux neophytes! |
|
| |
I Learn Linux teaches you to use a free “Linux virtual machine” that you can run on a Windows machine, so you can easily try out and save every kind of Linux move without messing up the Windows operating system. Whenever you’d like to try something for yourself, all you have to do is pause the tutorial, press Alt+Tab to go to a Linux command line, run the command just shown and then go back and watch the next section of instruction. |
|
| • |
Help you comprehend, practice and master Linux. Reading isn’t the ideal way to learn Linux because printed explanations don’t easily show some of the fundamentals. For example, it’s essential to include spaces in commands in certain places or they won’t work. A video tutorial can show you exactly what it looks like to enter a command, demonstrating where spaces are and aren’t required. |
|
| |
With the I Learn Linux videos, you see everything that you need to do happening stroke by stroke on the screen in front of you, accompanied by my explanation. Generally, I explain why you’d need to use a command, then I describe how to run the command, then I run it and describe the result of the command. You watch and have the opportunity to practice more than 100 common Linux commands, instead of trying to work your way through an alphabetical list of common and rare commands mixed together. |
|
| • |
Are in understandable English rather than highly technical “computer jargon.” Most Linux documentation is created by people who are "talking to" other Linux people and who consider whether or not novices can understand what they’re talking about. It’s vital to define each new technical term used so that one concept builds upon another – in plain English! But you won’t find many other Linux training materials that do this. |
|
| |
The I Learn Linux videos make it easy for you to learn, by using ordinary conversational English, with clear and explicit definitions and contexts for new concepts and plenty of examples. |
|
|
| |
User-friendly? Plain English? |
|
|
| |
You be the judge! |
|
|
| |
The “before” version is the sort of thing you’ll find in many high-priced Linux training manuals. It took ages for me to figure out what the trainer really meant, so that I could explain it clearly for a Linux beginner in the “after” version you see below. |
|
|
| |
BEFORE: |
|
|
| |
If user-level access does not apply, and the user's group name is the same as the group with which the file is associated, then then group-level access applies. If group-level access applies, and the group read flag is set, then read access is available, otherwise read access is not available. |
|
|
| |
AFTER: |
|
|
| |
User Permissions - A user can be assigned one or more permissions to directories and files, so that the user can work with those directories and files. This allows the user to do tasks like change into a directory, view the contents of a directory, and also read files and modify files. |
|
|
| |
Here is an example of assigning a user permission to access a file: |
|
|
| |
A user named cwest needs to be able to read the contents of the file named letter.sxw. To allow this, you assign the cwest user the r (read) permission to the letter.sxw file. |
|
|
| |
Group Permissions - A group can also be assigned one or more permissions to directories and files. A group is used to assign multiple users the same permissions to directories and files. To do this, you create a group and assign it permissions to the necessary directories and files. You then add the users that need these permissions to the group. When you add users to a group, the users become members of the group. The members of the group have the permissions that were assigned to the group. |
|
|
| |
Here is an example of assigning a group two permissions to access a directory. Several users in the Sales Department need to have the r (read) permission so that they can read the contents of files in the directory named sales-reports. These users also need to have the w (write) permission to this directory so that they can modify the contents of the files in the directory. |
|
|
| |
To set this up, you create a group named sales and assign the group the r (read) and w (write) permissions to the sales-reports directory. Then you add the users in the Sales Department to the group named sales. This allows the users in the sales group to read the contents of files in the sales-letters directory and also allows them to modify the contents of these files. |
|
|
|
|

Are perfect for visual, auditory and “by doing” learners. Whether you learn best by watching, reading, listening, repeating things aloud, practicing or following a model, these training videos fit the way you prefer to be instructed. |
|
| |
Visually, you’ll watch commands being run on your computer screen. Auditorily, you’ll listen to clear explanations. And practically, you can easily try everything out yourself to drive home your new understanding. |
|
| |
All of the training in the I Learn Linux videos comes to you in a respectful, occasionally even humorous spirit, rather than the condescending “you’re not a member of the club” tone characteristic of many Linux resources that you can find online. |

Explain confusing inconsistencies in Linux concepts. One of the hardest things to get the hang of for many people new to Linux is how to enter commands. If you see “$ ls” and “# ls” in an explanation and you’re not clearly told that “$” is the prompt on the command line for a regular user and “#” is the prompt on the command line for an administrative user, you’ll type “$ ls” or “# ls” instead of just “ls” and get baffled when it doesn’t work. |
|
| |
I Learn Linux videos don’t force you to guess about anything. They tell you explicitly that what some people call “options,” others call “switches,” and that both terms refer to options for commands like “ls,” which lists the contents of a directory. After watching these video tutorials, you won’t have to blunder your way through Linux or give up in frustration. Everything on the videos has been tested and approved by Linux instructors and consultants for accuracy and for friendliness to beginning users. |
|
| • |
Use proven technical training techniques. Shorten your learning curve! Training videos created by amateurs or by Linux pros without educational experience confuse you by tossing ideas at you before you’re ready for them. Likewise, hardly any Linux instructional materials provide detailed examples, which are essential for full comprehension of how the operating system works. |
|
| |
Instead, I Learn Linux begins at the beginning. Review from the beginning, if you’ve been slugging your way through Linux on your own. Learn with copious examples. Enjoy a natural progression from the basics to concepts flowing from them, from a technical training expert with more than 20 years of successes. Profit from 12 full hours of video tutorials for only for Online Viewing OR on CD. |
|
| • |
Offer instant 24/7 access for your convenience. When you order the videos for Online Viewing and also when you order on CD, you can begin learning just minutes after your purchase - and proceed at your own pace! Study during work hours or in the wee hours or both, according to whatever fits your needs and your schedule. Forget about fighting traffic jams on the way to a 9 a.m. training session! |
|
| • |
Feature professional audio and video quality. Many of the competing video training products on Linux have serious shortcomings in either audio or video quality, or both. How can you learn if you have to strain to hear a static-filled, low-volume sound track or to make out commands on a fuzzy screen shot? |
|
| |
I Learn Linux videos have clear audio and sharp video, comparable in quality to broadcast TV. |
|
| • |
Remain available for reference and review. Ever taken a class and then gotten confused about something that was crystal clear when the teacher explained it? We all have. And the worst, of course, is when a major project depends on the answer to your uncertainty. |
|
| |
That’s why the "Online Viewing" version of I Learn Linux video tutorials remains available for you 24 hours a day for a full 365 days after your purchase. Go back and review a section as many times as you need to, at no extra cost. This convenience alone can save your company hundreds of dollars in technical support. |
|
| • |
Prepare you affordably for certification. When you learn step by step and have an opportunity to review anything that’s unclear to you and practice it again yourself, you’re in much better shape to pass the exams on your first try. At $700 and up for those certification exams, with a 30 to 40% failure rate, you want training that truly sets you up to know your way around Linux before taking the exam. |
|
| |
I Learn Linux videos are like having a world-class instructor at your beck and call. And considering that your value as an employee can increase as much as $5,000 after you pass Linux certification, they’re a sensible investment in your future. |

|
|
| |
Hands-On Course, as well as the I Learn Linux Video Tutorials.
|
|
|
| |
For universities, government agencies and corporations, I’ve taught, trained and implemented a wide range of Linux, NetWare and other computer-related courses and solutions. Instructors at schools like those listed at the left assign or recommend my materials because students learn more quickly with them and because the students give my books and videos high marks. |
|
|
| |
Certifications that I have had and hold include Certified Technical Trainer (CTT), Certified Novell Instructor (CNI) and Certified Novell Engineer (CNE). |
|
|
| |
My forte is explaining intricate technical matters in an easy-to-understand, non-technical manner. Hailed for their accuracy and painstaking attention to detail, my books and videos fit the needs of novices, professors, corporate computer whizzes, independent trainers and self-paced learners. |
|
|
