This was a very good introduction to Linux course, the instructor is engaging and presents information in a lively manor, and the material, though considered introductory, covers a lot of information that makes life on Linux a lot easier; I've been using Linux as my primary operating system for around a year and didn't know some of this stuff. Thank you Andrew Mallett for making this course! this is a gem.

Great tutorials, examples and explanations in this course. The videos are not in the same order as the class material, so the WGU class should recommend downloading the same version of Linux used in the videos; possibly recommendations on using VMs as well, just so the simulations look the same when the learner is following along with the videos.
