Good reference for basic setup. I've never used CentOS before, so also a good introduction to RedHat family. A lot of things done completely differently from how I'm used to, so good different perspective. Having said that, the course could use editing and refinement. Misspellings and mistakes rarely have educational value, I'd speed-up typing, too (paste commands in?). Explaining spelling of the command is less needed (as it's on the screen) than explaining what it does and each of the parameters with commonly used variants. Including "further reading" document would increase the value of the course as knowledge repository.

Showing wikipedia pages and how to download things do not require a video course. Everything he has taught could have been a list of links.

Great, good job teaching what i already know in the instructor point of view. Still managed to learn something and course make a great reference and refresher. Definitely recommended for beginners learning basic Linux CLI and for those who just want to setup apache based webserver quickly. Thanks.

This course saved me from a lot of stress. I am a full stack Developer and i guarantee anyone to take this course if they want to understand all the concept of server configuration. Both beginners and intermediate users can still find this course very useful.

Not only in this course I am learning linux administration, also learning how to create instance on google and use it. Instructor is THE BEST in replying to messages. Thanks Shakil!!

I handle server well enough by using host manager because terminal seems overwhelming. One of my friends recommend me to have a course on Udemy. I choose this one because its main focus is on server administration and basic on terminal. Now I feel terminal is awesome.

This is my first course on Linux Server Administration and I really appreciate Mr Shakil Ahmed for this compact course on Linux Server Administration. He covers wide range of topic. I use to run my servers using paid VPS managers by this time I am running one self managed VPS and I am doing well on that. Thanks to the instructor once again. I am grateful to him.

At present I use cpanel and I feel like I do not need to pay for cpanel anymore to handle server tasks. I am surprised that managing own server by myself is not a difficult at all. Thanks Mr. Shakil for the course. Wish you good luck.

The course has mostly commands managing files. Then some server related commands and then installing LAMP. Was expecting more server related commands to monitor apache server after its installed. Monitor the performance of the server in the last 24hrs, last week etc.
