== What This Course is About ==
Unix and Linux represent the operating system technology underlying powering many of the services of we access every day - from Smart Phones, Cloud Computing and the Internet. Unix and Linux systems are often used to provide core services for companies as they are stable and secure. Updating is simple and does not usually require a system reboot unless the Kernel is updated. This subject introduces students to Unix, and Linux and the Internet.<br><br>Students will learn the core utilities to work productively in a Linux environment. Students will do this work using the shell, at the same time on a live Linux cluster. Students will learn to configure their login accounts, manipulate data stored in files, effectively use Linux commands and utilities, and write simple shell scripts.<br><br>
== Accessing Your Linux Computer Account ==
You will need a '''matrix''' computer account to do the OSL640 tutorials. If you have never logged into matrix
before, check your '''[https://myseneca.ca MySeneca email]''' for confirmation that your matrix account was automatically createdafter you registered for OSL640. This should happen automatically if you are a new Seneca student and this
