The material should have more coverage over the basics.. the instructor said that in the last lecture (in the next lecture..) so I think this course is not complete but in general the instructor is very good.

Bom, mais poderia ser melhor, mudar permição de arquivos é bem mais avançado de que criar pasta deletar arquivos, alterar data, desigar pc, executar arquivo e.t.c. então o mini curso começou bem mais depois fez um jump iginorando alguns aspectos mais basicos para alguns mais avançado

Very easy to follow, even at 1.5x, and well explained. But I hoped it would dig a bit deeper than the absolute basics, all of this was review. I will have to see what further courses are in the series.

As a newcomer to Linux I find this to be a very good introduction and a good place to start. Explanations are clearly explained by the instructor and the videos are also clear and easy to follow. For a short introduction it has quite a lot for me to learn. I highly recommend it. Thanks!

The presentation is clear and concise, the narrator's voice is clear. The subject matter is explained well BUT there are many subject matter that was not discussed as promised!

Is good for a beginner who want something short and sweet. I used to use linux briefly more than 15yrs ago, so this help to refresh abit before I move on to a more serious course on linux.

For Linux Beginners this is the one of the best free course available on Udemy. Instructor work is appreciable. These are the basic command that every Linux user should know .
By Matthew Vincent on 1/12/2017
Concise, simplified and yet not leaving out the important part. I had learnt a bit of terminal elsewhere in the past, this is by far most simplified and well structured. Need I add enjoyable?

I have some experience with Linux and I knew most of this material but I did however learned some things. LOL and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
