About this course
The course walks AIX administrators through the fundamentals of Linux system administration, covering the Linux file system layout, user and permission management, basic shell commands, and essential services on IBM Power hardware.

Lessons are delivered as video lectures with hands‑on labs that let you practice common administrative tasks in a Linux environment. By the end you’ll be able to manage Linux systems alongside your existing AIX responsibilities.
