This unit is aimed at teaching the basic principles of using the Linux operating system to run applications and manage files.
The unit begins with a brief look at the history of Linux and the background of the Ubuntu distribution, to help you to understand the nature and spirit of the operating system, and then introduces you to using Linux through a Graphical User Interface. Although the interface resembles the Windows desktop in many ways, a look behind the scenes at the underlying Linux file system will uncover some of the main differences between Linux and Windows as an introduction to the Linux command line interface. This is where the true nature and power of Linux is revealed.
