- Welcome to this mini course,
Linux for Windows users.
In this course,
you'll learn how to work
with Linux from a Windows environment.
I have created this course to be short and to the point.
It consists of six videos,
in which you will learn the following topics.
To start it,
I will tell you about Windows Subsystem for Linux.
You'll learn what it is
and how it relates to other Linux distributions
as well as Windows itself.
And I'll show you how to get it running.
The second lesson introduces the Linux command line
that is available in WSL.
You'll learn how to work with Linux commands
and how to get help about commands that are available.
In the third lesson,
I will tell you about the Linux administrative user root
and how to use this account in WSL.
In lesson four,
we'll get a bit further in command line usage.
And you will learn how to learn services in WSL.
And this should be enough to get you started
in Windows Subsystem for Linux.
Next, we'll have a look at tools that you can install
on Windows to work with Linux servers
that are running somewhere else.
I'll show you how MobaXterm can be used to open
a secure shell session on a Linux machine.
And in the last lesson,
you'll learn how WinSCP is used to easily copy files
between windows and Linux
based on the Secure Shell Protocol.
Before we start, let me tell you a bit about myself.
My name is Sander van Vugt.
And I offer different Linux courses on this platform.
I hope this course will help you to get started with Linux
and to see you soon in one of my other courses.
