      Did anyone else take advantage of the free Linux course offered by EdX a couple of months ago? I have been working through it slowly as I can, but I am struggling to get the time to do it. How far did you get?

        chapter 6. My 70-410 study took priority though.

            I do not believe so - http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/549894-free-linux-course. I do have a coupon for $100 off the re-run of that course if you want it.

              I took some free linux training from HP once upon a time. Not sure if they still do it, though.

                  How are you liking the training? Are you finding it valuable? What distros of Linux do they focus on?

                    Oh wow I totally forgot about those. That was a long time ago!

                        It talks about SUSE, Debian, and Fedora families. The first few modules were general overview of how the Linux kernel and boot loader work, and they break out the steps in examples (at least those I have done up through chapter 4) for a distro in each family with screenshots. It's really helped me just doing what I have done thus far.

                          That is an unexpected lineup. One enterprise distro (Suse) which is primarily popular in Europe (and with me) and two hobby distros. That's weird.

                          I would expect Red Hat, Suse and Ubuntu if there were three.

                              Ummm, duh. But you remind me of Homestarrunner. It's all about word association, man.

                                The specific distros they show are CentOS, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE. Notice I said families above.

                                  Fedora is considered part of the RPM family :) Although CentOS is a downstream of it.

                                      They are offering a re-run of this course with updated content in January. If you did not sign up, I highly recommend it.

                                            Thanks - I'm already taking three other classes over winter, we'll see if I actually have time to audit this one as well.
