This course takes you from using Linux to running it: deciding who gets access, keeping storage organized, keeping software up to date, and making sure your data is protected. It's built entirely on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (RHEL 10) release and aligned with the RHCSA (EX200) exam objectives. This course is heavily hands-on. You'll watch real administration work happen on a real RHEL 10 system: setting up accounts, managing storage, installing software, & protecting data, demonstrated step by step. By the end, you'll be able to administer a Linux system with confidence: Linux user management, Linux group management, storage control, & reliable backups. This course is designed for learners ready to move beyond basic commands into real system administration: controlling who has admin-level access, managing storage, and setting fine-grained permissions. That's a fit whether you're already working in IT and want to stop guessing at admin tasks, or you are looking to earn RHCSA certification. If you're comfortable with the command line and permissions, you're ready to start. Enroll today in this Linux Administration course to start administering Linux with confidence.
