Linux
What is Linux? Linux refers to the family of Unix-like computer operating systems using the Linux kernel. This can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware ranging from mobile phones, tablet computers and to mainframes and even supercomputers. Now part of computer folklore, the desktop adoption of Linux has become increasingly popular in recent years, not least because of the compatible use of Ubuntuu, Fedoraa, and Mint, distributions as well as the growing popularity of netbooks and smart phones running an embedded Linux.

Introduction to Linux Video
Seven Lucky reasons to learn Linux
- 1) The design of the system itself makes it very difficult to become infected.
- 2) Linux offers freedom of choice as far as which manufacturer you purchase the software from as well as which application programs you wish to use.
- 3) Linux comes with hundreds and possibly thousands of application programs included. That saves a lot of money!
- 4)Network Friendly…… we are all getting connected, and Linux likes networks.
- 5)Linux is a community rather than a commercial partner. It is openly developed, and this technology is shared among vendors.
- 6)Size doesn’t matter. Linux is generally more economical in the use of computer resources / space.
- 7)It’s configurable for YOU….Each user can have his or her own individual configuration all on one computer.
What Topics are covered in Lessons in Linux?
Oh boy, where do we start,,, or rather where do we finish !!! Linux is forever morphing and evolving into such spectacular applications that the “learning” really never stops as long as the appreciation and interest lives. However, in a nut-shell, since you asked, I guess we can summarise the foundation topics as follows. You can study lots about building custom kernels, and the intricacies of module entry and exit code. Lessons deal with working with module parameters, and communicating with modules via the ioctl mechanism. There is also the art of debugging using the /proc file system and sequence files, and the mechanics of system calls. You can also study the modules and the kernel symbol table and memory allocation primitives in kernel space. Learn the rules about device registration and just about anything and everything to do with the vast world which is Kernel programming. And that’s just the basics before you get into the likes of device drivers. Sounds like a lot but it’s one of the most revolutionary freeware type lessons in the World, so enjoy it.
