Course Overview

Introduction to concepts and fundamental skills for Linux users who run applications and services in Linux environments, but do not perform Linux system administration.

With a widely installed base of Linux servers, services, and cloud applications, many organizations have large business and technical workforces who require introductory Linux training to work with a variety of Linux distributions. These personnel must maintain a proficiency of fundamental Linux skills to perform their assigned roles and support activities. This training provides an organization with a standardized, comprehensive Linux training for the business and support workforce who are not system administrators or engineers.

Getting Started with Linux Fundamentals (RH104) is designed for IT professionals and business users who access Linux systems, and run Linux-based applications and services, but have little to no previous UNIX or Linux experience.

This course introduces Linux concepts and fundamental skills to Linux users who do not manage or administer Linux systems. Professionals who require system administration skills should instead take Red Hat System Administration I (RH124).

Note: Starting January 2026 this course only exists in CR (classroom) if scheduled or Closed course modalities. No RHLS-Course for this course.
