OVERVIEW

Red Hat System Administration I (RH124) is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux system administration experience.

The course provides students with Linux administration competence by focusing on core administration tasks.

This course also provides a foundation for students who plan to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command-line concepts and enterprise-level tools.

This training is the first of a two-course series that helps a computer professional without Linux system administration knowledge to become a fully capable Linux administrator.

These concepts are further developed in the follow-on course, Red Hat System Administration II (RH134).

This course is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.0.
