In this section of the course,
we're going to start covering the exam objectives,
and we're going to continue to do this
as we go through the rest of the course.
For every section,
I'm going to start out by telling you
which domains and objectives
that section of the course is going to be covering.
In this section of the course,
we're going to start by providing you
with an overview of Linux
and get you set up with access
to your very own Linux system to use during this course.
In this section of the course,
we're going to be covering three objectives across two domains
as we learn a few basics about how to use Linux
so that we can be ready to dive deeper
throughout the rest of the course.
The first objective we're going to cover is objective 1.1.
This states that you must be able
to summarize Linux fundamentals.
The second objective is objective 1.7 which states,
given a scenario, you must manage software configurations.
The third objective is objective 2.2 which states,
given a scenario,
you must implement identity management.
First, we're going to talk about the philosophy behind Linux
which is the open source movement.
Next, we're going to jump into our Linux system
and take a look at the command line environment.
We're going to take a look at the CLI,
which is the Command Line Interface,
as well as the shell and some basic bash commands.
Then I'm going to show you how to get help if you get stuck,
and this will include an introduction to man pages,
other help functions inside the operating system,
and some online resources that you can use.
So if you're ready to get started,
let's jump into our lessons on the basics of Linux tasks.
