About this training
Linux
Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open-source software development and distribution. Linux is the leading operating system on servers, mainframe computers and supercomputers. It also runs on embedded systems, for example mobile phones and tablet computers, as well as televisions.
Goal
Learn how to connect to a Linux system and basic command line usage, i.e you will be shown the basic commands in order to take advantage of computing facilities like the UBELIX HPC cluster. This is a crash course to get you started, with mentions of further topics to look into.
