Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

This course was the hardest I had so far. Some of the commands for the labs did not work.

Good piece of information.

But the bad side is that the tests are too easy and too guided.
