Nice job explaining the basics of the Linux shell. This course fits the onboarding process needs of those teams that need to train their new hires.

Great content, but please balance your audio, the intros are significantly louder then the instructor, it hurts my ears.

Mr. Rick, please keep up the good work that you do! It was/is a good general overview of the linux/ubuntu shell environment and very informative. Thank you!

This is a very good beginner's course. It was a challenge for me at the start, but then I started to catch on. It's amazing how all these things go on in the background in computers. Make sure to take notes of the command/prompt codes. It starts to make sense when you see the instructor's examples which are very helpful. Thank you.

Fantastic, I've always wanted to learn more from Ubuntu and Linux but have never had the time, this helped walk me through some fun ideas I have for files.

This is pretty simple fundamental basic on Linux Shell intro for the beginners which gives a positive vibe on learning more on this topic.
