Good course overall. I was using the latest version of Ubuntu server (20.04) and found that setting up a static IP was completely different than what was in the course. Took me quite a while to properly figure it out on my own on the web. The section on NFS was extremely helpful. Thanks.

Overall good, practical tips i didnt know before
By Iotu Nicolae on 4/22/2020
Overall a great course. You get also a couple of useful tips. Looks like the author is into Ubuntu mostly. I used this course to supplement my SysAdmin training courses.

Superb.

The instructor, Carmen Balan, did a wonderful job in this course. Carmen was very engaging throughout this course and she provided resources so that you can learn while watching the videos. I would recommend anyone who wants to learn the in's and out's of Linux administration.
By Parth Kaushik on 1/16/2020
One of the best courses that I have taken in Udemy. The topics are relevant and explained in detailed practical manner.
This is exactly what someone looks for as a supplementary learning after basic administration.
Thanks for all your efforts !
By Jose Castilla on 10/24/2019
This was definitely worth the cost, the material includes examples of the topics discussed in such an easy way that the concepts sink in. This course helped me improve my skills on Linux Administration, the next step is to practice, practice and practice and come and review the material when needed. If you are looking for a Linux Administration course look no further and try this, guaranteed.
By Donovan Miles on 9/21/2019
The content is great and it's clear that she knows her stuff. It's a bit fast paced for me, so sometimes difficult to follow along on my own lab environment.
