Course Description

If you are looking to improve your career and learn Linux, but are short on time, then read this. My name is Jason Cannon. I am the author of Linux for Beginners and the founder of the Linux Training Academy. When I ask people what their biggest challenge in learning Linux is, they all answer the same question: Time.
This is why I created this course. For the next five days, I will spend 45 minutes per day teaching you everything you need to know about Linux. I will teach you the most important commands and concepts, and even show you how to use them in real-world situations.

If you have a few minutes each day and are interested in learning the intricacies of the Linux Operating System, then join me and the other students today.

Free Bonus: How to Install WordPress on Your Very own Linux System. As an additional bonus to enrolling in the Learn Linux In 5 Days video training course you will receive a step by step checklist and video that shows you how to install WordPress onto an Ubuntu Linux system. First, you will learn which software is required to make WordPress work on a Linux platform. Next, you will be shown the exact commands that are needed to install all required software and WordPress.

This course will teach you how to set up a web server and how to install a database server. You'll soon have a functioning blog. This is a great opportunity to put your Linux skills to use. This is optional but extremely cool: If your blog needs to be hosted on the internet using your own Linux installation, I will show you how to get hosting for $5 per month.
