Linux Training for Certification LPI, SUSE and CompTIA Linux+ Live Boot Camp Classes, Online Courses and CBT CD
 Netwind Learning center offers an extensive line of Linux training courses to fill
everyone's training needs. Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. Developed under
the GNU General Public License , the source code for Linux is freely available to everyone. Typically all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and
redistributed, both commercially and non-commercially, by anyone under licenses such as the GNU General Public License.
In 1991, in Helsinki, Linus Torvalds began a project that later became the Linux kernel. It was initially a terminal emulator, which Torvalds used to access the large UNIX
servers of the university. He wrote the program specifically for the hardware he was using and independent of an operating system because he wanted to use the functions
of his new PC with an 80386 processor. Development was done on MINIX using the GNU C compiler, which is still the main choice for compiling Linux today (although the
code can be built with other compilers, such as the Intel C Compiler).[citation needed]
Despite being open-source, their are companies who sell Linux.. These companies, most of which are also members of the Open Source Development Lab, invest substantial resources into the advancement and
development of Linux, in order to make it suited for various application areas. This includes hardware donations for driver
developers, cash donations for people who develop the operating system software, and the employment of programmers at the
company. Some examples are IBM and HP, which use Linux on their own servers, and Red Hat, which maintains its own distribution.
There are many version of the operating system that can be found today
- RedHat
- SUSE
- Debian
- Fedora
- Ubuntu
- Gentoo
- Slackware
just to name a few. All of the above are based on different kernels.
Linux Courses available for CompTIA Linux+, SUSE and LPI Certification Track Paths.
CompTIA Linux+ Certification
This training course is for Professionals who want to certify their technical knowledge in basic installation, operation and
troubleshooting for Linux operating systems should consider this certification. The skills and knowledge measured by this
examination were developed with global input to assure accuracy, validity and reliability. Earning the CompTIA Linux+ designation
means that the candidate can explain fundamental open source resources/licenses, demonstrate knowledge of user
administration, understand file permissions/software configurations and manage local storage devices and network protocols.
LPI Linux Certification Training
A widely-recognized Linux certification ensures that IT professionals have a means of demonstrating their Linux skills to potential employers while assuring customers that they are receiving knowledgable support.
The easiest way to gain corporate, governmental, and institutional support and usage of Linux is to ensure that there is a
recognized support system in place. This includes professionally accredited support services and an industry recognized skills standard
SUSE Training for Certification
SUSE Linux is a computer operating system that is built on top of the Linux kernel and is distributed with system and application
software from various projects. SUSE Linux is of German origin and mainly developed in Europe. The developer rights are owned by Novell, Inc. since 2003, when the company bought SUSE.
SUSE Linux is available under two major branches, openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
- openSUSE is a free, community-oriented distribution driven by the openSUSE Project. It includes some of the latest "bleeding edge" Linux technologies and designed for home users and enthusiasts.
- SUSE Linux Enterprise is Novell's open-source solution for major enterprise, widely tested and certified.
