Overview
Welcome to the Basic Linux Concepts lab.
Linux is an open-source operating system based on Unix, created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Several different versions, or distributions, are available, including Ubuntu, Red Hat Linux, and SUSE Linux.
In this lab, you will review foundational Linux concepts related to system startup, directory structures, server architectures, and distributions. You will work through guided reading activities to interpret how these components function and interact. By the end of the lab, you will be able to identify and explain key elements that support the operation of a Linux system.
You will complete the following six activities in this lab:
