CS 251 Introduction to Linux
This course will teach students to install Linux (using Ubuntu Desktop or distribution of the student's choice) and then provide basic command line (Bash) scripting competency. Students will install Linux, preferably on their own computer, in a dual boot or virtual machine environment. The ability to run Linux and Windows or Mac OS on the same machine can provide students with new computer tools. Linux/Unix is used in gaming, research and web environments. Basic skills allows students to begin participating in those environments as well as preparing them for further learning in several Computer Science and Computer Information Systems courses. Basic familiarity with computer hardware and software and your own computer (with 20GB disk free) is recommended.
