Course Overview
TopGet started building skills to perform the key tasks needed to become a full-time Linux administrator.
Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux system administration experience. The course provides students with Linux administration competence by focusing on core administration tasks. This course also provides a foundation for students who plan to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command-line concepts and enterprise-level tools.
This course is the first of a two-course series that helps a computer professional without Linux system administration knowledge to become a fully capable Linux administrator. These concepts are further developed in the follow-on course, Red Hat System Administration II (RH134).
This course will help students learn the key tasks to become a full-time Linux system administrator. As a result of attending this course, students should be able to perform essential Linux system administration tasks, including installation, establishing network connectivity, managing physical storage, and basic security administration.
This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 10.0.
