[[Image:cli-prompt.png|thumb|right|120px|A '''shell''' is an interface / interpreter to allow a user to communicate with the Linux computer system. ]]
Although you need to study concepts throughout this course (slides, etc.), you will also need to get '''hands-on practice running Linux commands as well as performing and submitting online tutorials'''.
===Layout of the Matrix Linux Server===[[Image:matrix-layout.png|thumb|right|250px|The Matrix server consists of several Virtual Computers all connected together to form a '''cluster'''. A cluster '''Linux Cluster''' is a '''cost effective''' alternative to larger servers. ]]
The '''Matrix server ''' consists of '''several Virtual Computers computers connected together''' to form a '''cluster'''. <br>A '''Linux cluster ''' is a '''cost effective''' alternative to buying larger servers.
All registered students in this course should have an account on the Matrix server.<br>You will be using this account for the following reasons:
:* Issuing '''Linux commands'''
:* Becoming productive using the Linux '''command prompt''' ('''shell''')
:* Performing '''Linux Practice Tutorials'''('''11 Weekly Tutorials x 2% = 22% of your final grade'''):* Performing '''Linux AssignmentsPractice Questions''' (:* Performing '''3Review Tutorial'''):* Practice Issuing ('''Linux Command Review Questions8 Sections x 1% = 8% of your final grade''')
===Connecting to the Seneca Global PortalStudent VPN===[[Image:gp1.png|thumb|right|130px|'''Seneca Global PortalStudent VPN''' ]]
In the next investigation, you will learn how to '''connect''' to and '''login''' to your Matrix server account from a remote computer<br>such as your '''home desktop computer''', '''laptop''' or your '''laptop computertablet'''computer.<br><br>
===Connecting to Your Matrix Account===
[[Image:cls-shell.png|thumb|right|100px|Connect to Matrix via'''ssh''' command]]
There are two basic methods to connecting to your Matrix account.
In this section, you will learn how to access your Matrix Linux account by two different methods:
'''NOTEPerform the Following Steps:''' Although you can install and run the AppsAnywhere application on an Apple Mac computer, # If you will NOT have access to many of the Windows applications (including applications want to connect to your Matrix account). In this casefrom home, you can open a '''terminal''' and issue the '''ssh''' command to MUST first connect to your Matrix accountthe Seneca Student VPN. --<br> ===CONNECTING TO YOUR MATRIX ACCOUNT FROM COMMAND LINE=== [[Image:gp1.png|thumb|right|130px|The '''Global Portal''' service must be connected.]] # Before proceeding, make Make certain that your '''Seneca Global PortalStudent VPN is connected''' is connected.<br><br>'''NOTE:''' If you haven't set this up, refer to the following link for instructions;<br>https://insidestudents.senecacollege.ca/itsspaces/186/it-services/wiki/view/1025/student-vpn/<br><br>Let's learn a quick and simple method of connecting You only have to connect to your Matrix account by openingSeneca student VPN once during the day,<br>a text-based '''terminal''' and issuing the '''ssh command'''or while you are logged into your computer.<br><br># Determine which '''operating system ''' that your computer is using.<br><br># Try connecting to your Matrix account using the instructions in the '''table ''' below based on <u>your</u> '''current operating system'''.<br><br>

<span style===Part 1"font-family:courier;color:blue;font-weight: Using the Linux Shell ===bold">command argument1 argument2 ... </span>
An argument is used to change the default behaviour of a command. Arguments come in three major forms: # A command '''Linux Command Structureoption'''.#* Example: <code>-l</code># A '''file pathname'''.#* Example: <code>/etc</code># A series of characters (i.e. '''text''') that the command can use.#* Example: <code>"Hello, world."</code>
An '''argument''' <span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold"u>command argument1 argument2 ... must be separated</spanu>from a command (and from other arguments) by whitespace (a '''SPACE''', '''MULTIPLE SPACES''' or a '''TAB''').
With the Linux OS containing over '''2500''' commands and utilities, it's important for Linux users and Linux system administrators (sysadmin) to learn how to use commands “on-the-fly”.
The '''Getting Help with Linux Commandsman'''utility is an interactive collection of manual pages that provides information on how to use a given command (i.e. '''command usage''', '''acceptable command arguments''', '''command options''', '''examples''').

===Part 2: Performing Online Assignments ===
You are required to perform '''3 online assignments''' during throughout this course. This online assignment is used to teach and reinforce Linux commands are techniques as well as using <br>Linux commands to perform tasks gain experience for '''quizzes''', '''test 1''' (midterm) and tests students on their knowledge of issuing Linux commands'''test 2''' (final).
In this sectioninvestigation, you will learn to :* '''select Select the correct section''' for your online assignments, how to perform assignment submission* Perform the '''first two sectionssection''' and '''3 parts of the second section''' of assignment #1, how to * '''verifyVerify''' that you successfully completed both sections, and how to * '''exitExit''' your online assignment #1.
<br>
'''Perform the following steps:'''
