This IBM Self-Paced Virtual Class (SPVC) includes:
- PDF course guide available to attendee during and after course
- Lab environment where students can work through demonstrations and exercises at their own pace
This course discusses the differences between AIX and Linux by comparing and contrasting the two operating systems. System administration is focus of this course, so typical tasks performed by a system administrator are covered. All comparisons are targeted towards the Red Hat Linux (RHEL) operating system (running on IBM Power servers). However, in many cases the concepts discussed here also apply to other Linux distributions (that run natively on IBM Power servers).
This is a jumpstart for Linux class for experienced AIX admins. The material is not intended as a complete replacement or substitute for more comprehensive Linux technical training provided by IBM and Linux vendors. At the end of the course students will have learned the foundation of many Linux administration tasks, enabling them to start their journey with Linux system administration and expand their skills moving forward. Students are then encouraged to attend further training to deepen their native Linux system administration skills.
